Fruits and vegetables are important, especially during pregnancy. There are many myths about papaya, however, there is no medical basis for these. If you are worried, stick to your usual fruits - apples, berries, dragon fruits, oranges, avocados, watermelons, and fresh seasonal fruits. Don't eat canned fruits as they have added sugar. Wash all the fruits properly before consumption.

I had strange cravings for pineapple from 1st trimester onwards and ate and drank some in moderation, so far ok. Papaya as far as I know the fruit is fine but take note that papaya seeds and green papaya are NOT ok. Which means no Thai som tam green papaya salad!

I heard pineapple can induce labour so not recommended. I ate lots of other fruits tho, papaya is one of them. Good to have banana, kiwi also. Added in durian once in a while too
