[size=1em]Sarah Schenker answers:[size=1em]No, it's best that you don't eat liver while you're pregnant, and also if you're [size=1em]trying for a baby. You should also stop eating any liver products, such as liver sausage or [size=1em]pate.
Liver contains high levels of a type of vitamin A called retinol. Your body can store vitamin A for future use, so you don't need it every day. If you have too much of the retinol form of vitamin A, levels can build up in your body and may harm your unborn baby.
As well as not eating liver, check the vitamin A content of any [size=1em]vitamin or mineral supplement you may be taking, too. Look for a supplement specially formulated for pregnancy, which contains the betacarotene vitamin A. Don't take a vitamin with the retinol vitamin A. Always check the labels carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice if you’re unsure.
Similarly, take care with [size=1em]fish oil supplements, as either capsules or oil. There are two types of these supplements, those made from the body of the fish and those made from the liver of the fish. Don't take supplements made from the liver of the fish, such as cod liver oil, when you're pregnant. Cod liver oil contains retinol.
However, you do need some [size=1em]vitamin A, as it's good for your skin, eyes and immune system. You can get vitamin A, both the retinol and betacarotene types, at safe levels from dairy products, [size=1em]eggs, [size=1em]meat other than liver, [size=1em]oily fish, and vegetables such as carrots and broccoli.
