ate hot dogs for lunch!!! feel guilty

[Junemommy23rd]

I know you not supposed to eat hot dogs and some pregnant girls still do . Once in a blue isn't bad I know lol but I haven't ate hot dogs for so long the last time I ate it was at the beginning of the pregnancy . I ate 3 I feel so bad lol I should of only ate 1 but they where so good and I had so long without eating one lol forgive me god lol

I've never heard that you're not supposed to eat hot dogs while pregnant. You're not supposed to eat under cooked
Meats and eggs or unpasteurized cheeses and dairy, also raw fish and oysters. But not hot dogs. On this app there is an article and it's called the foods to avoid while pregnant and hot dogs were not mentioned. Other than them being high in salt, there is nothing wrong with a hot dog or three in your case lol

I eat hot dogs all the time

[Amanda252011]

Yup same here, eat them all the time yum yum

[Danielle_14]

I never heard you weren't supposed to eat hotdogs either.! NEVER

[Schmalzy]

Hot dogs are considered a deli meat so you have to cook them really good before eating them. I heard they have nitrates so you aren't supposed to eat them all the time but once in awhile is fine.

[mommyd2012]

The only reason your not suppose to eat them is they are a hard processed food (lunch meat is the same way) they grow bacteria faster then other types of non processed foods. As long as you eat them fully cooked (both hotdogs and lunch meat) and they are freshly opened you are ok!

(I eat hotdogs all the time both pregnamcies....and only time I eat lunch meat is from subway (I have it toasted) because they monitor the time spand and freshness of their meat every hour!)

I got a pregnancy book and it says food to avoid and hot dog was in it. Lol I just feel guilty for eating 3 omg I feel so fat lol

[ross1112]

Omg what did u put on them??

[Junemommy23rd]

Lol mayonnaise and ketchup but I been craving a hot dog with everything with onions and the meat and everything omg omg lol

[ross1112]

I've been craving it with chili, no onions, I had spicy hot dogs the other night, they were soooooo good omg lol

[sprmom87]

I ate a tuna sandwich (and not the light crap) friday and beef hot dogs last monday. Don't feel too guilty every once in a while is okay as long as they were well cooked.

[Novembermommy1104]

Omg ! I'm so glad to read this post and all the responses. I absolutely hate hot dogs but ever since I've been pregnant I've been craving but fighting it knowing it was on the no no list. I'm wanting a gourmet style dog. Like a all beef with chili and jalapeños and cheese, or a Costco polish with kraut and mustard.....I'm going for it!

As long as it's heated until steaming and you're not eating like 15 hot dogs a month, you're okay lol

My last pregnancy they made me really sick. I couldn't eat them again for a year & 1/2 but I've been craving them this pregnancy so when I made one I made homemade chili in the crockpot for the next day's dinner and used some of that on top of my hot dog with onions and mustard. I was extremely happy lol.. Luckily, they didn't make me sick so I really enjoyed that part, too...ha

I had a hot dog for lunch from Hardee's.. my OB says they're fine as long as they're cooked & you don't eat them every single day..

she said she had a patient who craved them & literally ate up to 6 a day!! lol
I'm not that obsessed with them, but I do enjoy one every now & then! (((:

Not to scare anyone but I saw the comment about subway and I used to work there. They DO NOT monitor anything. Basically they get it out of the fridge and put it out and then keep doing that until the expiration date.

Subway actually publicly states that their meat is not safe for pregnant women and toasting does not kill bacteria because it does not heat it to steaming . The only "safe" options while pregnant are tuna, meatball, and chicken breast subs.

[MamaMacMurtry]

You are not supposed to eat cold hot dogs. They have to be heated to at least 140 degrees.

[OctoberMommy2014]

hmm, well I guess that is scary.. and sort of disgusting lol, BUT I've had a few cold cut trios from subway & me & baby are okay!

the chances of getting listeria aren't HUGE unless their meat has been sitting out for way too long.. I'd even ask (I'm not ashamed) how long their meat has been sitting out.. it's not often they get asked that question so the truth usually comes out pretty quick lol

my OB said subway is fine.. she's had women literally eat cold meats from subway every single day & they were/are fine, my mama ate cold sandwiches all throughout her pregnancies with me & my brother, I mean the list goes on & on.. it's up to you, but I think it's fine. hotdogs are okay!! lol anytime I make a sandwich though, I DO heat the meat up.. like a hotdog! (((:

[angelama14]

Yeah it is usually fine. Its all healthy there its just that its a bigger risk to pregnant women. I'm staying away from it but I still crave it like crazy. I used to eat it everyday lol . Mmm bmt

[OctoberMommy2014]

lol never had the bmt!! I literally don't think I've had anything other than a cold cut!!! it's a slight obsession I guess haha!!

[angelama14]

You're missing out lol

[OctoberMommy2014]

lol! mayyyybe I'll try it next time.. I'll let you know how that goes haha!! ((:

[libellula]

Ditto. I have been bombarded with cook outs this spring and have had plenty of hot dogs. It's fine.

[mommyd2012]

Depends i guess on the state you are in....With my first i was in kentucky and the health department did monthly checks and it's mandated they check the meats every hour....then grade of sanitation was posted on the entrance door!

To each their own if they choose to eat subway or not!

[Schmalzy]

My husband got really bad food poisoning from subway. . So It scares me. I Don't Wana get food poisoning,  that would suck.
