My mother-in-law told me to avoid papaya completely during pregnancy. I love papaya, especially the ripe one. Is papaya really harmful for pregnancy, or is there a specific type that should be avoided?
Beta, old people always say to avoid papita because it is hot for the body and can cause miscarriage. If you have digestion issues, try eating a banana or soaked prunes instead of papaya. Always trust ghar ka simple food but talk to your doctor if you have serious stomach pain.
Honestly, my pregnancy brain made me fear everything, especially papaya! I kept away from it completely because who has the energy to worry about contractions while already dealing with morning sickness? Just eat an apple and sleep whenever you get ten minutes, trust me.
I am currently trying to conceive and even I have heard that papaya is not safe. I have completely stopped eating it just to be on the safer side. It is better to ask our doctor to be absolutely sure.
Look, raw papaya is definitely a big NO because it can cause contractions. Don't listen to random internet advice, just avoid it completely till your delivery. Why take unwanted risks when you have so many other fruits to eat?
Actually, I just delivered three months back and my doc strictly told me to avoid raw papaya. Ripe papaya is said to be okay, but honestly, I didn't take any risk and avoided both. Better to stay safe during these nine months.
