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?

Yes, everything in moderation, except uncooked/partially cooked food, raw seafood, alcohol and cod liver oil. Papaya and eggplant are safe to eat as part of a healthy balanced diet.
