If you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, avoid eating unripe papaya. Papaya that is unripe contains a latex substance that may cause contractions of the uterus. ... Although a fully ripe papaya is not thought to be a problem, it is not known for sure if papaya is completely safe during pregnancy.
