I just ate a hotdog and now I feel guilty :(

GreenEyedGal · July 2009

I know, it sounds so dumb and so "1st trimester-ish" but I can't help but feel guilty for chowing down a hotdog. I told myself that it was going to be fine, that I will not allow myself to feel paranoid and look at me now, Googling away and praying that the hotdog didn't contain listeria. Tongue Tied

I have had soooo many hotdogs this pregnancy (probably more than a nonp-pg person should consume LOL) and have zero guilt. As long as it was cooked thoroughly, you are fine. I have had a craving for "processed meats" like hotdogs, sausage, pepperoni etc... I have something like that a few times per week, but always cooked or heated in the case of the lunchmeats.

I have eaten so many hotdogs...its really crazy. I cook them to death, and love love love them. Can't get enough, really...

Step away from google...and eat another hotdog ;-)

You are fine!!! I ate tons of hotdogs and DS eats them now!! and FYI... hotdogs are already cooked.

I ate a bunch of them during the summer months (w/ the 4th and all it's hard not too:)) Try not to feel too guilty. My ob told me I could eat them.

I went on a cruise from 9-11 weeks and lived on hot dogs!

If it makes you feel better, I had about 6 ounces of beer the other night. I returned home from a business trip and was so wound up - a little beer was sooooo yummy, and since I had it with about 24 ounces of water over the course of an hour, I didn't 't feel too bad

An indulgence once in a while is just fine.

I pretty much had 1 hot dog/week during my pregnancy, including corn dogs...they were my craving. I wouldn't about it at all!

As long as you didn't eat the hot dog cold and slimy, don't worry about Listeria.

And a little bit of nitrate/ites won't hurt.

No guilt!

You're fine: I ate 3 of them last weekend alone....if it was cooked to temp...there isn't a problem.

Lol, thanks girls. I logged on this morning to find 10 responses and my first thought was I just know those are all flames for sounding so dumb. What's dumb is me thinking you girls are that mean. Smile

Anyway, thanks for the reassurance, I actually do feel better now. I need to seriously stop worrying so much.

I discovered organic, all-beef, nitrate free hot dogs last weekend. I got them at Trader Joes and I thought they'd taste awful. Wrong! They are better than the regular ones. DH was OOT all week and literally I had one every night for dinner this week.

Stop googling. As long as you cooked it, you're fine. I've had SO many hotdogs so far it's ridiculous. I just can't resist the smell of hot dogs on a charcoal grill. And its summer for crying out loud....bring on the hot dogs!!

LucyPevensie · July 2009

Now I want a hot dog! LOL! You're fine - drink a little orange juice - it counteracts the nitrates (supposedly.) Regardless - a cooked hot dog now and then isn't going to hurt a thing - it's summer! You have to eat a weenie now and then! Cool
