Well, the only way to get my post count up is to post right? :-)
We have a venison cook book that states " Any woman who is pregnant is probably best advised to avoid eating venison during the course of her pregnancy. This is because of a fairly common, though often misunderstood, disease known as toxoplasmosis. It is commonly acquired through eating undercooked meat. A woman who becomes infected during pregnancy risks major problems with the fetus she is carrying including death, brain damage, hydrocephalus, jaundice, or convulsions at or shortly after birth.
I'm not sure how to read that as a first time parent and not become concerned enough to look further. There is not a lot of research out there on the topic so the most logical place I thought of to ask was a hunting forum full of people who have "been there done that."
Trust me, no PETA members in our household. We pride ourselves by filling our freezer with animals we have taken from our property.

I ate it while I was pregnant. Just make sure she takes in a bunch of fiber as I got hemorrhoids badly.
