I was told to avoid papaya and eggplant when pregnant. But some of the western pregnancy books recommend eating these foods. Does anyone know if these foods are safe to eat during pregnancy?

I think depends on your body. Eggplant is said to be a "cooling" food like bitter gourd. My parents told me to avoid bitter gourd when pregnant.
