Everyone at home keeps stopping me from eating certain fruits, papaya, pineapple and all. Im 9 weeks and confused what is actually unsafe vs just a myth. Can u all tell me which ones to really avoid?
Apart from the raw papaya type stuff, I had to watch very sugary fruits like mango and grapes because of my sugar levels. For most women thats not an issue though. Depends on ur health, so check with ur doctor if u have any condition.
The usual ones people say to avoid are raw papaya and too much pineapple, specially in early months. Otherwise most fruits are totally fine in normal amounts. Just wash everything well and dont go overboard with any one fruit.
Beta in our family we always kept raw papaya away during pregnancy, that belief is quite strong. Pineapple bhi thoda kam. But ripe papaya in small amount most say is ok. Best to confirm with ur doctor whats fine for u.
As a total fruit lover this question stressed me haha. But really only raw papaya and loads of pineapple are the ones to skip. Everything else I enjoyed happily, just washed properly and in normal quantity. Dont let people scare u off all fruit.
Honestly the list is shorter than people make it sound. Raw papaya and excess pineapple are the commonly mentioned ones. Rest is mostly old fears. I just asked my gynac and she cleared it, best to do that rather than going by whatsapp forwards.
