View allI've been having this craving to eat raw rice, and I've had it since my fourth month of pregnancy. Now I'm 25 weeks along, and I'm not sure if this is a bad or a safe habit. Can you please advise?
Consuming raw rice during pregnancy, especially beyond 25 weeks, can be detrimental due to potential contamination with aflatoxins, arsenic, and other harmful substances; it may also lead to digestive issues, gestational diabetes, and nutrient imbalances; consider consulting your obstetrician or a registered dietitian to discuss safer, nutritionally balanced snack options and ways to manage cravings.

I've always had regular periods, but I'm a bit worried because they're starting to get delayed. Last month, it was 10 days late, and now it's already been 12 days past the expected date, and still nothing. I haven't had intercourse, so I'm sure pregnancy isn't the issue. My period dates have been March 12, April 10, and May 19. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
