View allI've been having this craving to eat raw rice, and I've had it since my fourth month of pregnancy. Now I'm 25 weeks along, and I'm not sure if this is a bad or a safe habit. Can you please advise?
Consuming raw rice during pregnancy, especially beyond 25 weeks, can be detrimental due to potential contamination with aflatoxins, arsenic, and other harmful substances; it may also lead to digestive issues, gestational diabetes, and nutrient imbalances; consider consulting your obstetrician or a registered dietitian to discuss safer, nutritionally balanced snack options and ways to manage cravings.

I'm a bit worried because I had sex with two different people at different times, and neither time we used condoms. Could this lead to any problems, even if it's not something I do regularly?
Yes always you use barriers as you are unaware of partner's health status .
