My mom keeps saying dont touch papaya during pregnancy but my friend says it depends ripe or raw. Now im confused na, i got pregnant just last month and dont want to take any chances. Whats the real thing here?
The concern is mainly with raw or semi ripe papaya, so I avoided that completely both times. Fully ripe in small amounts is what most people say is okay. When in doubt, just skip it, plenty of other fruits.
My family was very strict about no papaya, especially the unripe one. I respected that and chose other fruits I love instead. No harm in playing safe na, but trust your doctor over any forwarded message.
Raw papaya is the one everyone warns against. I personally just avoided papaya altogether to be stress free. Honestly the simplest thing is to ask your gynac what she's comfortable with for you.
Beta hamare ghar me hamesha kaha jata hai ki raw ya kachcha papaya pregnancy me nahi khate. Pakka ripe papaya thodi matra me theek mana jata hai. Phir bhi apne doctor se ek baar confirm kar lo.
