Rice. Is it safe to eat??

[Kitcat159]

I'm 11 weeks and the only advice re food my midwife has given me is "Google it"
I have googled it and checked a couple of apps and apparently rice is bad as it contains arsenic.

But I have been told to try the BRAT diet for morning sickness which is bananas RICE applesauce and toast.
Also everyone says about having a curry to help move things along if baby is over. That would invole rice, No?

Did/do you eat rice during pregnancy?

If you like ginger, it's supposed to help with morning sickness.

For me it was mostly about drinking small sips of water throughout the day and burping a lot. I ended up learning how to force a burp, which helped get rid of the feeling that I was about to throw up.
And keeping my stomach cool, either with cold patches or reducing the amounts of clothes.

Ceres Ceres - proper name bacillus cereus

Just eat what you can OP. I suffered terribly with pregnancy sickness and spent a few weeks living off toast, Coke, and cheese. And this was after trying to go vegan for a few months beforehand! But cheese is one of the only things I fancied. Just eat what you can, I hope you feel better soon, it’s grim.

Oh geez, I swear one of these posts crops up every day. You can eat rice. Of course. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yup rice is safe to eat as long as it's cooked and if a take out from somewhere that has good hygiene practices etc.

As for midwife saying 'Google It' I honestly would have gone wtf and got them to explain.

Either she didn't know or couldn't be arsed giving full info.

I lived in China my first pregnancy...

I had rice every day!
