Should pregnant women avoid papaya? ⁣ ⁣ Let’ Should pregnant women avoid papaya? ⁣ ⁣ Let’s check it out! 👇🏼⁣ ⁣ Yellow, ripe papaya is safe to eat during pregnancy!⁣ ⁣ The concern is unripe, green papaya which contains latex and the enzyme papain.⁣ ⁣ Evidence shows these components might cause uterine contractions and early labor (DOI: 10.1079/BJNBJN2002598). ⁣ ⁣ Although the above study was completed in rats with unripe papaya juice, it does warrant a “precedent with caution” label.⁣ ⁣ Another study also completed in rats showed only high doses of unripe papaya caused unwanted side effects during pregnancy (The Nigerian Postgraduate Medical Journal, 31 May 2002, 9(2):95-98⁣ PMID: 12163882). ⁣ ⁣ Unripe, green papaya is often used in South Asian cuisine and some cultures even suggest women eat it as a contraceptive.⁣ ⁣ In small amounts, any kind of papaya is likely okay, but there are no benefits reported from eating green papaya in pregnancy. ⁣ ⁣ Take the stress out of confirming what is safe (and not safe) to consume during your pregnancy, join The Prenatal Nutrition Library!🤰🏼⁣ ⁣ A searchable membership site to help you increase confidence in your ability to properly nourish your growing little peanut! 👼🏼⁣ ⁣ Link in bio! 💜

Are grapes safe to eat during pregnancy? 🍇⁣ ⁣ Yep! 😀⁣ ⁣ Grapes contain a phytonutrient called resveratrol (I learned all about this in Italy while studying the Mediterranean diet!).⁣ ⁣ Resveratrol has been associated with improved heart health, and shows anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, & anti-diabetic properties in non-pregnant individuals, but what about if you’re pregnant? 🤰🏼⁣ ⁣ Resveratrol is definitely okay to ingest from foods like grapes and berries, the matter in question is resveratrol supplementation.⁣ ⁣ Some research suggests resveratrol *supplementation* prior to and during pregnancy has benefits, but other studies say precede with caution as there is not enough data to prove its safety.⁣ ⁣ Even more interesting, one study showed a reduction in GDM and another showed a reduction in blood pressure in women with preeclampsia with supplementation of resveratrol.⁣ ⁣ Take the stress out of confirming what’s safe (and not) during pregnancy by joining The Prenatal Nutrition Library! 🙌🏼⁣ ⁣ TPNL helps you feel confident in your food choices for two 👼🏼⁣ ⁣ New weekly content, support, community, and meal plans for each stage of your pregnancy! ✔️⁣ ⁣ ✨ Link in bio ✨ to get started!⁣ ⁣ DOI: 10.1002/rmb2.12303⁣ DOI: 10.1530/EC-17-0130⁣ DOI: 10.7417/T.2017.2013⁣
