Eating a small amount of raw rice occasionally is unlikely to cause serious harm, but it is not recommended during pregnancy.
Raw rice can:
• Contain bacteria or parasites
• Cause stomach upset
• Interfere with iron absorption
• Be a sign of pica (craving non-food items), which is sometimes linked to iron deficiency
I suggest you stop this habit and get your hemoglobin levels checked to rule out anemia.
