Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Brief answer:

No, eating raw rice is not advisable but it will not cause any problem to growing baby.

Explanation:

Craving for different things is common during pregnancy and raw rice is one of them, eating raw rice will not cause any effect on the baby however it is advised that you wash them thoroughly before eating as raw rice may contain pesticides and other chemicals which may be harmful for baby. High amount of raw rice intake may cause indigestion and stomach pain, so avoid taking high amounts.

Hope this was helpful. Do let me know if you have any further related questions.

Regards,
Dr. Akash Kumar
