Artificial sweeteners
I've found some varying schools of thought on this one; your thoughts are appreciated. As a former chubby girl (lost 70 lbs a few years ago), I've swore off sugar completely and have not eaten it in years. My only sugar intake comes from natural sugar (fruit) and on the rare occasions that I eat or drink anything sweet it's sweetened with artificial sweetener. I do try to stick to the natural ones like Stevia, but if I buy a sugar-free product, they usually contain aspertame or sucralose. Are these safe during pregnancy?
Love is everything.

Re: Artificial sweeteners
That makes so much sense. I think my fear of getting chubby again is starting to rear it's ugly head. But you know what? I don't care if I gain 100 pounds during this pregnancy, as long as my baby is healthy! Thanks.

Several grocers sell it under the brand name Ideal and it's no more expensive than Stevia or Splenda.
