MIL completely banned papaya at home saying its risky in pregnancy. I actually love papaya so feeling a bit sad. Is it really that bad or is it just a myth?
I just stayed away from papaya both times, plenty of other safe fruits to enjoy. No point risking it when ur unsure. Stick to apple, banana, pomegranate instead.
Beta, in our families we always avoided raw or unripe papaya during pregnancy, elders are strict about it. Ripe papaya in small amount some say is okay but I would rather skip it to be safe. Better to ask ur doctor too, na.
I avoided papaya completely during pregnancy on my gynacs advice, especially the raw one. Why take a chance with so many other fruits available. Pls confirm with ur own doctor before having it.
