Can i eat liver while pregnant?

My family cooks a lot of chicken liver, and I usually enjoy it. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm not sure if it's still a good idea. Is it okay to eat liver while pregnant?

No, it is highly recommended to avoid liver during pregnancy because high Vitamin A can cause issues. Please consult your doc.

Dekho yaar, direct bolu toh liver avoid hi karo abhi. It has way too much Vitamin A (retinol) which can harm the baby. Better safe than sorry, clean chicken meat kha lo agar non-veg ka mann hai.

Actually, my doctor strictly told me to skip kaleji (liver) during my pregnancy, yaar. The vitamin A levels are crazy high and can be risky. Stick to normal boiled eggs or chicken for your protein fix!

According to most nutrition logs and health trackers, liver has a massive dose of preformed Vitamin A. This can cross the safe daily limit very quickly for pregnant women, so it's best excluded from your meal prep.

Back when I was expecting, my elders told me to stay away from liver and spleen. We focused on simple, well-cooked meals like fish curry or lentils, which are much safer. Take care and don't worry too much.
