I love papaya but my MIL almost snatched it from my plate saying its not good in pregnancy. Im in my first trimester. Is it really to be avoided fully or only some types? Confused yaar.
Looking back, my doctor told me that completely ripe papaya is fine, but unripe or green papaya is strictly forbidden. Since it's hard to be 100% sure, I just avoided papaya entirely during those 9 months to stay completely safe.
I am planning my pregnancy right now and have been researching this too! My mom said green papaya is dangerous, but fully ripe is okay. Is it better to just avoid it completely to be on the safer side?
The most practical solution is to just keep papaya out of your fruit basket for 9 months. Raw papaya is dangerous, and sometimes even ripe ones have some raw parts. Eating other safe fruits like bananas or apples is much simpler and stress-free.
Suno, ripe papaya toh thoda chal jata hai, par raw or semi-ripe bilkul nahi khana hai na! Raw papaya me latex hota hai jo contractions trigger kar sakta hai. So risk mat lo aur door hi raho abhi.
Hey, don't stress too much! Just completely avoid raw or semi-ripe papaya because it can cause uterine contractions. Ripe papaya is technically okay, but honestly, just skip it for now and eat apples or pomegranates instead.
When I was staying at my parents' house, my mom and dadi strictly banned papaya in the kitchen! They said raw papaya can cause miscarriage. To keep everyone happy and safe, I just avoided it and had mangoes and apples instead.
