Carving For Eating Raw Rice After Pregnancies. Iron Level Normal. Should I Be Worried?
Started eating raw rice eight years ago after three pregnancies. I reported to my doctor about my craving and they checked my iron and it was okay. Problem has persisted. I stop for a few months and I resume. Should I be worried? Why raw rice? I have tried to to substitute with corn crackers but there is nothing like raw rice. Please help.

Hi Dear
Welcome to the platform of Health care magic.
Eating not eatabale things and unusuall thing is quite common in pregnacy. This is called as PICA.
Causes are actually not very certain, some time it is attributed to iron defeciency/calcium defeciency or some times hormonal imbalnces.
Hope your query is answered.
Thanks
