Is it ok to eat papaya in the second trimester? I still have severe constipation and its driving me nuts. I have become very cranky and angry and cannot seem to find a permanent fix for my problem.
Any other suggestions are also welcome.
Thanks!
 
i was lucky, did not have constipation problem. I drank at least 1.5 litre water a day, plus lots of vege/fruits.
 
I feel ripe papayas are ok (from online posts and articles), but my husband is not convinced that it is safe. I do try to drink a lot of water, but still not much relief. I guess I'll have to eat a salad everyday (I have celery everyday). Have been drinking prune juice also (a glass a day). Somehow I still have trouble. Lets see what changes a salad a day brings about. Really feeling unhappy about this. Also have huge constipation related pimples now. :(
 
why don't you ask your obs? cos mine told me to avoid papaya, he did not say how long for, but am sure he can answer that one easily.
 
SoLong,

Andrea is right, best to consult with yr Dr. I got constipated during my 3rd trimester and was pimply too.
