Im 9 weeks and everyone at home has a different list of veggies to avoid. Someone said no raw papaya, someone said brinjal, im so confused now. What veggies did u all actually skip during pregnancy?
Elders in our home avoid raw papaya and some say go easy on certain ones early on. But mostly wash everything well and cook it nicely, beta. If unsure about any vegetable, your doctor will guide you.
I was careful to avoid anything raw and always cooked my veggies well, especially leafy ones, washed thoroughly. Raw salads from outside I skipped. If you have a specific worry, ask your gynac for your case.
My doctor mainly said avoid raw or unwashed veggies and raw sprouts because of infection risk. Cooked vegetables are generally fine. The big rule was washing well and cooking properly rather than banning many.
