It is said that eating papaya, guava or pineapple will prevent you from getting pregnant.

Papaya, guava and pineapple have certain enzymes that are good for the body, if you are preparing for pregnancy. However, make sure it is eaten fully ripe.

papaya is hot in intrisic nature, its tasseer is garam, so what happens is that it increases the heat in the body and uterus which aborts the foetus.

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.

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.

Papaya is a fruit which is good for digetion of food.Papaya contains an enzyme called pappain .This pappain enhances the softening of meat before cooking when meat is marinated with papaya.In simaple woeds papaya generates heat which is not helpful to for the first few months of pregnacy hence one must avoid eating papaya for first 3 months.Once pregnancy gets stable then no harm in eating papaya but in very small quantity.
