RE: Pregnancy and venison
Wild game is not regulated in any way. Technically it should be better for you than consumer meat because there are no chemicals or additives in it. However you have no way of knowing what the animal was eating or if it could be sick.
With store bought meat there may be stuff in it, but at least they know what is in it and it is highly regulated.

I was told to stay away from hot dogs as they could contain listeria. And to eat fish, but not alot of it due to mercury. Other than that, my doc, said nothing.
did nto have the problem, I did not want meat while I was pregnant anyway.

My 1st thought was B.S. Venison is one of the leanest meats out there, and any doctor will tell a woman she shouldn't gain very much during her pregnancy. I agree with whoever wrote there's no chemicals, etc in the meat...and yeah, the animal could have been diseased/sick/whatever you wanna call it...but wouldn't that affect everybody eating it? And wouldn't you notice or the butcher at the very least if you don't process it yourself? Just an observation...me personally, I'd wouldn't even give ita 2nd thought.

Why don't you just do what the doctor advises? He/she might have a little knowledge on the subject.
By the way, I am a board certified internist and nephrologist.
