Papaya during early months of pregnancy s not advisable as it contains the enzymes responsible for hormonal imbalance. Which may smtyms leads to miscarriage. So pls do avoid that fruit. Instead take apples, guavas, grapes, etc.

Hello, A moderate intake of ripe papaya will infact help her getting high dose of vitamin A and will also help ease constipation. Papaya in raw form should be completely prohibited.
