Is it safe to eat papaya when you're pregnant? Expert answers here: pregnant

\nIn a nutshell\nRipe papaya, which has a yellow skin, is safe to eat during pregnancy. But you may want to consider avoiding unripe papaya, which has a green skin: while there is no clear evidence to say it\u2019s harmful to you or your unborn baby, a lab-based study on rat wombs has suggested that the latex found in unripe papaya can cause contractions.

\u201d\nAnd, even if the latex in unripe papaya is definitely harmful, you would have to eat a huge amount of unripe papaya to ingest enough latex for it to have any ill effect on you or your baby.\nWhat\u2019s in unripe papaya that\u2019s different to ripe papaya?\u00a0\n\nYellow-skinned papaya is super-healthy and contains all sorts of things pregnant women should be eating, such as:\n\nFolate\nVitamin A\nMagnesium\nFibre\n\nBut green-skinned papaya also contain latex.
