We had a sabzi with raw papaya at home and after eating I suddenly remembered hearing papaya is not good in pregnancy. now im a bit panicky, im 9 weeks. was it the raw one that's the issue? pls share what you know.
The general advice is to avoid raw or unripe papaya during pregnancy, while ripe papaya in small amounts is usually considered fine. To be safe i just skipped raw papaya altogether. If you have doubts your doctor is the best person to confirm for you.
My family was very particular about avoiding raw papaya in pregnancy and i followed it happily. The fully ripe one i ate occasionally. I did mention it to my doctor and she agreed raw one is best avoided. So no, raw papaya i wouldnt recommend.
Beta we always tell women to avoid raw and unripe papaya during pregnancy, our elders have said this for generations. The fully ripe one in small amount some say is okay but raw one better skip it. When unsure just ask your doctor.
I avoided raw papaya in both pregnancies, its the common advice and i didnt want to take chances. Ripe papaya in moderation is what people say is fine, but raw or semi ripe i kept away. If you really want it, check with your gynac first.
