Just found out im pregnant, around 6 weeks only. My MIL keeps telling me to avoid papaya and all but im confused which things are actually risky in starting. Anyone with proper info pls?
Listen, don't stress yourself reading too many things online. Just avoid raw sprouts, unpasteurized milk, and raw seafood or half-cooked eggs for now. Stick to basic warm food and keep your doctor in the loop.
Haha honestly, with my sleep-deprived brain, I only remember my doctor telling me to stay away from raw papaya and too much caffeine. Rest of the time, I just ate whatever did not make me puke. Don't worry too much, just keep it clean and fully cooked.
Actually, my mom never let me eat Chinese food outside because of ajinomoto, and no raw eggs. It's best to eat simple, freshly cooked meals that your family prepares with love. Safe and healthy!
Raw papaya and pineapple are usually avoided, haan na. My elders always said they create heat in the body. Better to stay safe and eat regular ghar ka khana, ho na.
I completely panicked in my first month because I accidentally ate a slice of pineapple and searched Google like crazy. But honestly, my doctor said a tiny bit won't do anything unless you eat huge quantities of raw papaya. Relax, you and the baby will be absolutely fine!
