Hot dogs are fine, but they aren't a very good choice of foods to eat pregnant or not. Why not pick up something healthier for both you and the baby's sake!
EDIT- Just the simple fact of being pregnant is all the more reason to eat healthier!!! Its so disgusting so see people use pregnancy as a reason to over eat or eat junk food repeatedly. Why not do it for your baby? Is he/she not worth it?

This is the first time I've heard that there are beliefs that hotdog can be harmul to pregnancy.
In my my opinion, hotdog won't harm your pregnancy because it's just like eating hamburgers and other canned goods and other preserved food.
In a stricker sense, hotdogs and other preserved foods preserved by chemicals are harmful to your health in the long run. It will take its toll later in life when your body grown old and weary. Some studies suggests that eating such things stimulates growth of cancer cells especially to those who have family background in cancer.
I suggest that you continue eating hotdog for as long as you crave for it during pregnancy because it's not really you but the baby. If you suppress that, the baby might develop a sense of deprivation. Afterwards, if you can avoid hotdog then do it.

Apparently (from what i've read) hotdogs are advised against because if they aren't cooked properly they can cause listeria HOWEVER since you are the one cooking them you should be fine! Just make sure you cook them properly. I know i have craved (and eaten) hotdogs in my pregnancy (am 28wks) - since i'm the one that cooks them i can ensure they are cooked properly - no probs!

I've never heard that hot dogs in particular are harmful while pregnant. They might be if not cooked, but since you cook them first, I'd say Enjoy! And unless your having health issues, don't worry about the low salt or low this or that while pregnant. You crave something, eat it. Your body tells you that you are lacking something and that it is found in what you are craving. Good luck.

Some say it is but I beg to differ. I ate hotdogs like crazy and my daughter turned out just fine.

You should be careful because hotdogs can cause listeria if not cooked thoroughly. Just make sure they are well-cooked and you should be fine.

Some people can give the craziest advice and answers. While it is important to eat healthy while pregnant you do not have to become a health freak. Eat what you want as long as it is not dirt.

They say that eating too much of any processed meats such as salami, frankfurters etc is generally not healthy for you but you should check with your doctor. Best wishes for a safe delivery.

people say they are bad cuz if uncooked they can carry lysteria i think. but if you always cook them first you should be okay. I ate them with my first pregnancy and eat them with this one and everything is fine.
