Thank you for the information, as the warnings about eating liver during the first weeks of pregnancy are quite common here. Maybe you can provide me with a link to a corresponding study that supports your statement? Ah, I see!

Traditional societies reserved vitamin A rich foods like liver and fish roe for women during preconception, pregnancy and lactation. Teratogenic effects of vitamin A are related to the overuse of synthetic vitamin A, not to a whole foods diet.

Anyway, i appreciate very much that you recommend grass-fed/pasture-grown animals (even though personally I don't feel comfortable eating animals at all). And what about Vitamin A? Liver is not recommended for pregnant ladies because you might overdose on Vitamin A when eating liver.

It is a common assumption that toxins are stored in the liver and it is untrue. (http://www.westonaprice.org/food-features/liver-files) Besides, were are not talking about animals fed on pesticide-laced grasses or medicated animals. The only animal foods we recommend on the site are those which are grass-fed/pasture-raised without supplementary hormones and without antibiotics. So even if the liver did store toxins (which it does not), your point would be moot. No, actually toxins are not stored in the liver.
