No worries I know that sinking feeling when you eat something and then think 'oh crap'.

I've been eating hot dogs and savaloys alot during this pregnancy, lol I've had a real craving for them. I cook them at home in the microwave but I steer clear of the ones at the shops like Wendy's & donut king or the food vans because the hot dog sausages are just sitting in a warmer and sometimes they aren't piping hot.

During my first pregnancy I steered clear of hot dogs altogether as I was told that they contained sodium nitrate which is dangerous if eaten in excess, but after researching it I found out that sodium nitrate is a smoking agent used to smoke meat, cheeses etc and can cause cancer if eaten in excess by anyone & not just to be avoided whilst pregnant, so now I'm happing eating my hotdogs
