what fruits and veggies should i avoid during pregnancy..i've heard papaya should be avoided?

Answer 1

Ciders and fresh-pressed juices – Check the labeling carefully to make sure they are pasteurized. Steer clear of roadside juices until after pregnancy.
Smoothies – Some bottled smoothies and yogurt drinks are not pasteurized.
"Raw milk" cheeses – Many delicious soft cheeses, like blue cheeses, brie, feta, Camembert, soft Mexican cheeses and some mozzarellas are not pasteurized. They can carry an illness called listeriosis, which can be dangerous in pregnancy, but is difficult to detect. So avoid the risk
Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before popping them in your mouth. Also, simply avoid sprouts (like alfalfa or wheat sprouts), as these are commonly contaminated with bacteria like E. coli
Herbs may sound harmless, but many have potent effects, and some should be avoided during pregnancy. Stay away from raspberry tea, cohash, slippery elm, ginseng and green tea – these may stimulate contractions. Instead, try fruit, ginger or mint teas
as for papaya.i've heard about it too.papaya has estrogen and sometimes are taken to induce periods. so i would suggest to avoid it during pregnancy. aslo stay away from pineapple or limit consumption.
good luck hon!

Now later on they say eggplant dish can start your labor. But only made one way. I don't belive in it. But I added a link below so you can check it out when your ready to have the baby.

For more than twenty years, women have gone to Scalini's Italian restaurant in Cobb County, Georgia, with one thing on their minds: To go into labor. They always order the Eggplant Parmesan, which, so far, has helped encourage more than 300 babies to come into the world within 48 hours of their mom eating the meal.

Answer 3

Most foods in a reasonable quantity are perfectly safe. Papaya extract is often used to treat heartburn in pregnant women.

The only foods you need to limit are those containing artificial chemicals (preservatives, artificial dyes, artificial sweeteners), heavy metals (such as mercury in certain fish), and drugs (including alcohol and caffeine)

Certain foods such as black licorice have been shown to increase prostaglandin production which may cause preterm labour. However generally only in large amounts (licorice has been shown to have an effect if you eat 2.5 packages or more per week throughout pregnancy). That isn't in moderation in my opinion.

You should also avoid foods prone to contamination with bacteria or viruses, particularly Listeria which may be found in raw milk, unpasteurized cheese, shelf stable pate, and deli meats. Heating will kill listeria so you can eat any of the above provided it is cooked first.
