I love papaya and used to eat it daily before. Now everyone at home is saying dont touch papaya during pregnancy. Im in 2nd trimester, just want to know is it really not allowed or just the raw one? thoda confused.
At home everyone told me no papaya during pregnancy, especially the raw one. I listened and skipped it the whole time. Plenty of other fruits to enjoy na. But ya, your doctor's word is the final one.
Since I had a sensitive pregnancy I avoided papaya completely on my doctor's word. Unripe papaya especially can be a problem. If u really want to eat any, please check with ur gynac first.
Beta in our families raw or half ripe papaya is strictly avoided in pregnancy, elders always said it's heaty and not good. Fully ripe one in small quantity some say is okay, but I'd just skip it to be safe. Ask ur doctor too.
Raw and unripe papaya is a no during pregnancy, that part is genuinely advised against. Ripe papaya in small amount is generally considered fine, but honestly there are so many other fruits, I just avoided it both times to not worry.
The concern is mainly with raw or semi ripe papaya, which is best avoided. Ripe papaya in moderation is usually considered safe but views differ, so I'd just ask your doctor and go with what she says.
