I'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.

View allI'm currently pregnant and have been using Practin syrup occasionally, like once or twice a month, just to help me sleep better when I'm having a hard time. I'm generally healthy and don't take any other meds. Should I be worried about any risks of using Practin during pregnancy? Just wondering if it's safe or if I should be looking for alternatives.

I'm really worried because my periods have been irregular for the last two months. My usual date was supposed to be the 14th of this month, but today is the 29th, so I'm 15 days late. I've had sex twice, with the last time being in January. My periods used to be on time, and now I'm not sure what's going on. Could this be something I should be concerned about?
It seems like your menstrual cycle has been irregular for the past couple of months, and youre experiencing a delay of 15 days this time. While it could be due to stress, hormonal changes, or other factors, if the irregularity persists, it's a good idea to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation, especially since you've had a gap in sexual activity.

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and my latest USG report shows an open internal OS with a cervix of 2.8, a funnel diameter of 6.4mm, and a funnel length of 12.8mm. I'm currently in the hospital, and I'm really worried about how risky this situation might be. Could you please help me understand what those measurements mean and what I should expect?
While your condition does carry some risks, especially for preterm birth, many women with similar conditions go on to have successful pregnancies with the appropriate treatment and monitoring. Your healthcare providers will be the best source of advice to manage this situation and minimize risks to both you and your baby. Stay in close contact with your doctor, and follow their instructions carefully.
