Im 6 weeks and my mom keeps telling me papaya is a strict no in pregnancy. But i used to eat it daily for digestion. Thoda confused hu now, is it really not safe in early days?
Haan na, raw papaya strictly avoid karna chahiye starting me. Ripe papaya soft waala thoda chalta hai, par early pregnancy me risky hai toh completely stop hi rakho better rahega.
Bilkul nahi, early pregnancy me papaya bilkul nahi khana hai. Be very careful about what you eat right now, skin and seeds are even more dangerous. Just stick to basic safe fruits for a few months.
According to my pregnancy tracker app, unripe or semi-ripe papaya has latex that can cause uterine contractions. So it's best to avoid it completely in the first trimester to stay safe.
Actually, unripe papaya contains papain which is unsafe, but fully ripe papaya is sometimes said to be fine. Still, honestly, why take any risk when your gynac is just a call away? Better to consult her.
I had some bleeding in my first pregnancy, so my doctor strictly made me list all food items to avoid, including papaya. If you've already eaten some by mistake and feel any pain, please call your gynac immediately.
Oh dear, please don't touch papaya right now, especially unripe ones. I was so scared of doing anything wrong in my first few weeks, it's totally okay to feel anxious, just eat apples or pomegranates instead.
