I'm in my second month of pregnancy, and yesterday I ate some papaya. My neighbors told me it could cause an abortion. I'm really worried about this. Is it true that eating papaya and pineapple can lead to a miscarriage?

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and just had a growth scan that showed my amniotic fluid index is 22.2 cm. The doctor mentioned it's a bit high and suggested I get some blood tests done, like fbs and ppbs. They also said the baby's abdominal circumference is slightly above average. Does this mean I might have gestational diabetes? And what kind of diet should I be considering right now? Everything else with the baby's weight seems normal, so I'm just trying to understand what all this means.
An Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) of 22.2 cm is indeed high, and the slightly above-average abdominal circumference may indicate fetal macrosomia; however, gestational diabetes diagnosis requires confirmation through FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) and PPBS (Postprandial Blood Sugar) tests; if diagnosed, follow a balanced diet with complex carbohydrates, fiber-rich foods, and minimal sugar intake, and consult a registered dietitian or healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

I'm really worried and a bit confused. Is there any chance of pregnancy from non-penetrative sex? We only rubbed, and he didn't have a full erection or ejaculate. But now she's experiencing some brown spotting after 19 days. Her periods are usually irregular, and she hasn't had them for the past two months. We did a pregnancy test, and it came out negative. Could you help us understand what's going on?
While the risk is extremely low, it's not impossible to get pregnant from non-penetrative sex, as pre-ejaculate fluid can contain sperm; however, given the circumstances you described, pregnancy is unlikely; the brown spotting 19 days after the incident could be related to various factors, such as hormonal changes, stress, or other medical conditions; considering her irregular periods and missed periods for two month
