Hi moms,
I heard papaya and pineapple are not eaten during pregnancy?is it true?Could anyone tell me Why papaya and pineapple are avoided during pregnancy?
3 answers so far. What are your thoughts?
I have heard papaya and pineapple shuld not be eaten it is because it might cause miscarriage. It has latex and and oxytoxin which causes miscarriage. So it is better it is avoided.
I have heard pineapple contains selenium…and selenium (an anti-oxident) helps promote a healthy womb lining which is why it is thought to aid implantation. Pineapple also contains an enzyme called bromelain which is contraindicated during pregnancy as it may cause uterine contractions (many people, especially in Asian cultures, suggest eating fresh pineapple to induce labour if overdue)….however, during processing this delicate enzyme is destroyed which is why its ok to drink pineapple juice in moderation when ttc or pg but not to eat fresh pineapple/pineapple pieces etc .
