Default RE: Ok for pregnant women to eat venison?

Will,
My wife and I have two children that are going to be 4 and 1 in January and during both pregnancies my wife ate venison. Both children are very healthy and my wife had no problems with the pregnancies what so ever. Now it sounds like your family eats venison on a more frequent basis than mine so take it for what it is worth to you. I wouldn't hesitate to feed it to my wife at all, it is very healthy and if cooked properly should be as safe as beef. While pregnant they are not supposed to eat raw, pink meat, it needs to be fully cooked. No Rare steaks or medium for that matter.

And by the way, my 4 yr old loves the stuff and my 1 year old will be trying it for the first time soon!!!
