Pregnancy Diets

-
Avoid unripe papaya as it contains a latex substance that may cause contractions of the uterus, leading to early labor. Unripe papaya also contains papain which your body may mistake for the prostaglandins, which the body uses to induce labour. It may also weaken vital membranes that support the foetus. The latex in unripe papaya is a common allergen that could trigger a dangerous reaction.
So, if you're pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant, avoid unripe papaya.
However you can take ripe papaya as it is rich in vitamins and nutrients during pregnancy.
