Re: Diet Coke - Caffeine Free
I drink a diet coke at least once a day and I did this with my first as well and no problems.

Re: Diet Coke - Caffeine Free
The aspartame in the diet coke is not good for the baby. A little in moderation probably isn't bad, but I wouldn't risk it.

Re: Diet Coke - Caffeine Free
I've had a few times here and there throughout the pregnancy, but I tried to stay away from the artificial sweeteners as much as possible.

Re: Diet Coke - Caffeine Free
This is from Americanpregnancy.com:
Aspartame: (Equal or NutraSweet) Aspartame is not effective in heat nor for long periods in liquid form. It is often found as an additive to soft drinks, gelatin, desserts, pudding mixes, breakfast cereals, beverages, chewing gum, dairy products, and other foods and drugs. According to the Food and Drug Administration(FDA), Aspartame is safe for use during pregnancy and lactation. It is recommended to limit consumption to a moderate level.
Aspartame should not be used by anyone with PKU (a rare metabolic disorder), rare liver disease, or by pregnant women who have high levels of phenylalanine in their blood. Phenylalanine is a component of aspartame, and it may not metabolize correctly in anyone who has these conditions.

Thanks fo much for this info!!! I have been only drinking caffeine free regular since I have been PG because of the aspartame in diet, but this info is really helpful. As long as I am not mutating the poor kid, I would really prefer diet if I am going to have a soda.
