Everyone at home strictly says papaya na khao during pregnancy but no one explains why properly. I actually like papaya so im confused. Is it really dangerous or just a common belief?
Honestly, food rules can vary from person to person, so it is best to ask your gynac during your next visit. In general, green papaya is strictly a no-no, but your doctor can tell you if a little ripe papaya is fine for your specific body.
Since I had a history of PCOS, my pregnancy was already quite delicate, so I was extremely cautious about my diet. My gynac told me that unripe papaya has enzymes that are risky, so she advised me to skip papaya entirely and eat apples or pomegranates instead.
Haan, humare yahan toh pregnancy me papita khana bilkul mana karte hain, chahe paka ho ya kacha. My mom says it is better to avoid it completely for nine months, options toh bohot hain na jaise sev ya kela kha lo.
Please, I would strongly suggest avoiding it completely throughout your pregnancy. Since I had a miscarriage before, I became very sensitive about everything I ate. Even if people say ripe is safe, the risk of accidental semi-ripe bits is just not worth it.
I'm in my 6th month and honestly, my MIL got so scared when I asked for papaya. Is it really that dangerous if it's completely ripe? I've just been avoiding it to prevent any arguments at home, but I do miss eating it sometimes.
Uff, I have been craving fruits like crazy in my 3rd trimester, but I've kept papaya completely off my plate. Even though some people say ripe yellow papaya is okay, I just didn't want to take any unnecessary risk when my back is already breaking and I'm so tired!
Actually, I did a lot of reading on this, and the medical fact is that only raw or unripe green papaya is dangerous because it contains latex and papain which can trigger uterine contractions. Fully ripe papaya with yellow skin is technically safe in small amounts, but my doctor still suggested avoiding it completely just to stay 100% safe.
I am currently in my 2nd trimester and my grandmother strictly told me to avoid papaya because it creates heat in the body. Did anyone else's family say the same thing? I have completely stopped eating it just to keep my family happy and stay stress-free.
