Dont know why but ive been craving raw rice so badly these days, i keep chewing on it. Im 4 months pregnant. Is this craving okay or can it harm the baby in some way? a little worried it might not be safe.
Yes try to avoid raw rice yaar. The craving for it is common, it can be a sign of low iron actually. Raw rice can have germs and isnt easy to digest, plus eating a lot fills you with empty stuff. Mention the craving to your doc, get your hemoglobin checked.
I had this exact craving and worried so much! Read that it's often tied to iron deficiency. I stopped eating it raw and just told my gynac, she checked my levels and it was fine after. Dont eat it raw, but dont panic either.
Beta this raw rice craving I've seen in many pregnant girls, our elders always linked it to weakness in blood. Better not to chew on it, it's not clean to eat raw. Tell your doctor, often an iron tonic sorts the craving out.
My paati used to say this craving means the body needs something. Raw rice isnt good to eat uncooked though, can upset the tummy. I'd skip it and let your doctor check your iron levels, they'll guide you properly.
I'd avoid it. Raw rice isnt cooked so hygiene and digestion are concerns, and it's not adding good nutrition. If you're craving it strongly that can hint at a deficiency, so do flag it to your gynac at your next visit.
