Ragi is good millet, has lots of calcium, iron and other minerals.
You can safely have it during pregnancy. Use variety of grains, fruits and vegetables in your diet.

Hi, ragi is safe to consume during pregnancy but if you have thyroid please don't consume too much. Once in a day either in the form of dosa or porridge or adai is totally fine to consume, as ragi is a millet it tends to interfere with thyroid medication absorption in the body.

Ragi is a super Millet food, very nutritious, not hybrid or modified, but natural grain...
However, if the person has hypothyroidism, then all the millets interfere with the absorption of thyroid medication and become *goitrogeneous* foods...
Next Steps
Be Happy, do moderate exercise like walking, swimming, yoga, meditation etc. Read nice books, Be positive, your baby also will be positive... Eat healthy food...
Health Tips
Eat smaller but frequent meals. include lots of fruits & veggies, nuts & oil seeds, whole cereals and pulses, drink enough water, etc. to have healthy baby... Eat right for smooth delivery of the baby, further contact SWASTHYA NUTRITION.
