When drinking water I have been adding crystal light.  Is that ok?

    I cut out all artificial sweeteners during pregnancy.  Whether or not you want to do that is up to you.

    If you have questions in regards to artificial sweetners (safe or not safe), you can check out this site:

    Lots of helpful info!

    I have cut back on CL (I'm usually an addict).  they also make CL pure which uses stevia and a bit of sugar, I believe.  that could be a better alternative, if you are ok with stevia during PG (which I am).

    CL and powder drinks are notorious for causing kidney stones too!

    I've done this as well for personal reasons.  Whether or not you have the artificial sweeteners is up to you and your doctor.

    I give up artificial sweeteners while pregnant but it is a personal choice.

    I have had it once or twice while preggo, but mainly cuz it sounded SO good.  I cut out artificial sweeteners too, but the occasional CL won't hurt you I'm sure.  :-)  That being said....I really like the CL Pure.  I have some of the small packets of it, and it is really tasty.  I will have to get more once I'm out.  It gives me my CL fix without the nasty artificial sweeteners.  :-)

    I'm in the "everything in moderation" crowd on this one. Every now and then it probably won't hurt, but don't replace all of your water intake with crystal light.

    I'm a HUGE Diet Coke nut, so I've just stopped drinking it all together because of the caffeine and artificial sweeteners. A lifesaver for me is lemon and hot water. LOVE.

    Aspartame isn't good for you normally, but I would definitely avoid it in pregnancy. Better safe than sorry. That stuff is pure chemical.

    crystal light has a PURE brand.  The risk of artificial sweeteners is only is you have a disorder but if it makes you feel better try the pure one

    oh i don't know, having a crystal light sounds awful risky to me. Awful risky indeed.

    Now if you were talking about crystal METH, well I'd be all over that. mm-hmmm.

    I stay away from artificial sweeteners even when not pregnant. Natural sweeteners are so much better for your body. I hope that you at least drink some pure water. Because it's not really water anymore after all those chemicals go in.

    oh really? interesting. Can you explain the scientific process by which crystal light converts H2O into something else? just curious.
