Hi. I understand it is concerning because earlier raw papaya has shown to be a little harmful in pregnancy.
But to assure you, there is no harm to fetus if you eat raw papaya at this stage in the pregnancy.
Please keep an eye of the fetal movements you are perceiving.
For any other queries, kindly reach out.
