Papaya: Avoid during pregnancy
If you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, avoid eating papaya or using a papaya product. Papaya is sometimes recommended for soothing indigestion, which is a common ailment during pregnancy. Although a fully ripe papaya is not considered dangerous, a papaya that is at all unripe contains a latex substance that triggers uterine contractions and may cause a miscarriage. 1
The papaya enzyme that helps soothe indigestion is called papain, or vegetable pepsin. Papain is found in the fruit's latex and leaves. 1 Researchers have noted that unripe papaya latex acts like prostaglandin and oxytocin, which the body makes to start labor. 2 Synthetic prostaglandin and oxytocin are commonly used to start or strengthen labor contractions.

I know for sure that unripe papaya used with a lot of salt is not good to use during pregnancy because it causes miscarriage.I always heard that people use it that way to get rid of unwanted pregnancies and then someone told me they used it and it did work.i dont know if ripe papaya is ok but if i were you i would avoid papaya totally just to be on the safe side.Maybe you should talk 2 doctor or someone else about it since you really love it 2 b sure.Have a healthy pregnancy.
