Hotdogs and Pregnancy?

Question

I love hotdogs and read somewhere that pregnant women should avoid eating them. Is it true? Do you eat hotdogs? What brand do you eat?

Answer 1

WOW! I'm glad I'm not the only one who read that I'm not suppose to! My doctor gave me a ton of information to read and it was in there. I'm not sure why they would have a crazy rule like that, so I eat them, and I don't eat a certain brand. I'm 14 weeks pregnant and I am pefectly healthy and so is baby so far! I've been eating them throughout the whole thing so far.

Answer 2

I didn't have any problem with it. I ate all kinds of stuff, including fish, octupus and even sardines. Try to remember that the baby is VERY sensitive, so, you need to totally cook your food. There doesn't seem to be wrong with them nowadays. Enjoy your food. One of the greatest privilege of being pregnant is you can eat everything! Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Answer 4

as long as theyre cooked its fine

Answer 5

I think the concern with hot dogs is the possibility of listeriosis.  But if you cook them thoroughly you should be fine.  Check with you doc though to make sure.
