We'll it should be fine if it's completely ripe. But if you want to be 100% sure then check with your Dr first

Check on a medical site first. It is either Papaya or passion fruit that isn't safe in pregnancy. But I can't remember which. There is an enzyme in one of them that can be harmful to your baby. Just check first. I read it in a bunch of pregnancy information my Midwife gave me
