Dubious science: One 2002 article in an obscure nigerian journal involved giving preposterously large amounts of the extract of the seeds (not the part you'd eat) to some rats, which then suffered some miscarriages (the pop writer misunderstood these are "powerful uterine contractions" which aren't going to happen in early pregnancy.) if something happens to baby, it won't be papaya-induced. Good luck.
