So I had a small portion of green papaya salad at lunch today (4-6 oz), along with my entree. I came home and Googled a recipe, which warned pregnant women against green papaya. Apparently this is common knowledge in eastern cultures and has been used as an abortificient.

I'm so worried because I honestly didn't know! I'm having my usual back pains and random crampy/stretchy pains. I saw my Dr earlier for an ultrasound follow up and she said my pains are normal once they aren't excruciating or accompanied by bleeding.

I'm overthinking because of my new found knowledge. Has anyone heard of this, or have you consumed green papaya and had a healthy pregnancy? This is the first time I've eaten this during my pregnancy.
