Everyone at home panics if papaya is even mentioned, they say it can cause miscarriage. But i love papaya yaar. Is all papaya bad or only raw one? im in my second trimester. pls clear my confusion.
Beta, ripe papaya in small amount is okay but raw or half ripe papaya we always avoid in pregnancy. Elders have always said the unripe one is not good for these months. To be safe just skip papaya and have other fruits.
The concern is mainly with raw or semi ripe papaya, fully ripe in small quantity is generally considered okay. Honestly I just avoided it altogether to be safe and ate other fruits instead. If you really want it, ask your gynac.
Raw papaya is the one everyone says no to, ripe is debatable. I chose to avoid it completely both times, there are plenty of other safe fruits. No point taking a risk over one fruit na.
