    It's safe to eat hotdogs in moderation. I've never heard of a hot dog or corn dog making anyone go into labor, but I do know that if you're going to eat a hot dog or corn dog (or lunch meat) that it has to be hot when you eat it. Listeria (sp?) is nothing to mess with when you're pregnant, and hot dogs and lunch meat and such carry the risk. So just be careful. One hot dog shouldn't do any harm if properly prepared.

    as long as you cook it. listeria bacteria has been found on hot dogs, but if you microwave it for 20-30 seconds it will kill it.
