Will Eating An Unripe Papaya Have Negative Effect On The Fetus?
Hi, Doctor
my wife is pregnant it is 8 weeks. we already have a 1 year old child and in order to avoid unplanned pregnancy she ate Unripe PAPAYA just may be 100 grms or less than that. it didn't lead to ABORTION but she is worried whether will it harm the fetus. Does it leads to any sideeffects or deformative to the unborn. we already consulted Gyno she said baby is doing well. Please advise us
