Brief Answer:
anaemia ...+ avoid raw rice eating...explained
Detailed Answer:
hello, Thanks for the query to HCM,
As you are already 9 months pregnant and in the last trimester ,then the craving for raw rice per se cannot affect the foetus but can always cause a gastrointestinal pain in lower abdomen and can present as enteritis. So raw rice eating should be avoided.
Secondly a Hemoglobin of 10 gm% indicates anaemia and at 3rd trimester , the haemoglobin as per XXXXXXX standards should be higher than at least 11gm%.
