Nooo, apparently pregnant woman are told to not consume any kind of liver or liver products because it contains high amounts of vitamin A, which too much of it is terribly bad for your baby..  If I were you, I wouldn't take a chance...

I've been told not to eat liver at all (im in the UK though) as the iron content is way to high :( although years ago pregnant women were encouraged to eat it lol - talk about confusing people

So long as it's cooked it should be fine. I've heard that liver can actually be quite good for you during pregnancy. But like everything else moderation is key.
