Though ragi is a nutritious grain with a multitude of essential nutrients, including calcium, fibre, iron, etc., which help women during pregnancy, there is little to no evidence suggesting that it can increase fetal weight. A nutritious and balanced diet during pregnancy is important for the proper growth of a foetus. However, ragi should not be solely relied upon for the increase in foetal weight. Consulting a nutritionist or your healthcare provider for this concern is recommended as they will be able to give you personalised advice based on your pregnancy progress.
