Newly pregnant here and everyone at home is giving me a different list of what to avoid, im getting confused honestly. Papaya, certain fish, ye wo. Can someone share a proper idea of what we should actually stay away from?
My gynac gave me a list. No raw eggs or undercooked meat, avoid unpasteurised milk and cheese, limit coffee, and skip raw papaya and excess pineapple. Also clean fruits and veggies well. She said normal balanced ghar ka khana is the safest bet.
Honestly you dont need fancy expensive food, you just need to avoid the risky stuff. Skip raw, unpasteurised and outside food, wash everything well. Simple home food is cheap and the safest, thats what I did.
Actually the biggest one yaar is street food and outside cut fruit, the hygiene risk is real. I cut down on chaat and raw stuff. Caffeine bhi thoda kam karo. Otherwise normal khana chalta hai.
Main things to avoid are raw or undercooked stuff, papaya especially raw papaya, pineapple in large amount, too much caffeine and outside cut fruits. Both times I just stuck to fresh home cooked food and was fine.
Beta in our family we always told girls to stay away from raw papaya during pregnancy. Also avoid very heaty and outside oily food. But for any specific doubt, your doctor knows your body best na.
