Im so confused with papaya, some say avoid raw one and some say ripe is fine while ttc. We are trying and i just want to eat the right things na. Can someone clear this for me?
When I asked my clinical nutritionist at the hospital, she said fully ripe papaya is safe but semi-ripe or green papaya has latex which causes uterine contractions. To be absolutely safe during the conceiving phase, they advise avoiding papaya altogether.
Ripe papaya has good vitamins, but during pregnancy or when trying, unripe papaya is dangerous because of latex. Keep your regular doctor checkups on track and clarify your diet list from your gynac just to be 100% stress-free.
Oh god, I had a huge craving for papaya when trying, and I ate a whole bowl of ripe one! Nothing happened, got pregnant fine. Just avoid the green raw one, that's the real culprit.
I am so confused about this too! Some say ripe is fine, others say avoid all forms of papaya. I am currently in my 2nd trimester and have strictly avoided it because I got too scared of the risk. What did your doctor say?
Mummy bolti hain ki trying ke time and pregnancy mein papaya bilkul nahi khana chahiye, chahe ripe ho ya unripe. Unke hisab se safe side rehna hi best hai, toh maine toh poori pregnancy mein papaya touch bhi nahi kiya.
My tracking app says ripe papaya is loaded with beta-carotene which is good, but warns against unripe ones. If you are tracking your ovulation, maybe just avoid papaya during your two-week wait for peace of mind.
Ripe papaya health ke liye acha hota hai par use conceiving ke time avoid hi karo toh behtar hai. Folic acid aur normal healthy dry fruits lene se conception mein help milti hai. For any severe cycles issue, consult doc.
Honestly, ripe papaya is fine as it doesn't contain latex like the unripe one. But let's be real, why risk it if you are worried? Just eat other seasonal fruits like bananas or oranges while trying.
I completely understand why you are asking, we get so scared about what to eat. Ripe papaya is actually safe in small quantities, but if it makes you anxious, just skip it, dear. Eat sweet apples or pomegranates instead.
Ghar pe simple, saste options bohot hain jaise apple, kela, guavas. Papaya ripe ho ya unripe, local log mana hi karte hain conceiving ke time. It's easier to avoid it and keep mind calm.
Haha, ripe papaya isn't going to stop you from conceiving, don't worry! But to save yourself from family lectures, maybe eat it when your MIL isn't looking! Keep it moderate though.
