My MIL made a face when she saw papaya in our fridge and said avoid it now. I really love papaya so im a bit confused. Is it actually a problem or just one of those old sayings? anyone know?
The concern is mainly with raw or semi ripe papaya, that's the one everyone avoids. Fully ripe in small quantity is generally considered fine, but honestly I just skipped it to avoid worry. Up to you and your doctor.
Beta, in our homes we always avoided raw or unripe papaya during pregnancy, the elders were strict about that. Ripe papaya in small amounts some say is okay. But to be safe, do ask your doctor first.
My saas wouldn't let papaya near me the whole pregnancy, haha. I just listened to keep peace and ate other fruits instead. If you want to have it, clear it with your gynac na.
