papaya=miscarriage?

Question

So I ate half of a papaya. I took didn't eat the peals. I read it was good for constipation. Theeen I read it causes miscarriages. I'm freaking out!!! I'm 20 weeks pregnant and I don't know what to do. Should I try to throw it up or am I okay?  😰

Answer

Don't believe everything you read. Don't stress either, I'm sure baby will be fine 🙂 sending you some positive vibes! 🤗

Answer

I've never heard of this, nor have I ever seen papaya on a "do not eat" pregnancy list... hmmm.... I think you'll be okay, but when in doubt call your dr. Good luck!!

Answer

I wouldn't worry about it. I had a freind blame her miscarriage on papaya. My logic is that there are women who drink smoke and do drugs during thier pregancy and don't miscarry. I'm sure papaya won't hurt your baby but you can always ask y o urban doctor at the next appt.

Answer

This doesn't even make sense... Under the safe things to take while pregnant to treat nausea, are papaya enzymes. I have taken them multiple times and been fine. I wouldn't stress, but if your really worried about it avoid it in the future.

Answer

Don't worry. I eat papaya a few times and nothing has happened to me. I even think that my baby likes it.

Answer

Unripe is bad for you. Did you eat a totally unripe papaya? 
Or was it ripe?

Answer

You'll be fine. Don't freak out.

Answer
