Thoughts on "diet"??
Like diet coke? Aspertame, splenda, etc...
We all know I am a caffeine addict and I am making good strides to cut back. I am now drinking caffeine free diet coke but then I got to thinking maybe the "diet" part isn't good for babies either.
Thoughts??

Re: Thoughts on "diet"??
my doctor always said Diet coke is fine.. when i was pregnant i drank 1 a day..
you talk to your doctor and see what HE says... guarantee everyone is going to have MANY different opinions on this!!
but as for TTC alone.. i dont change anything.

Re: Thoughts on "diet"??
I've just heard too many bad things about that and the artificual sweetners..I stopped using them even before TTC. I didn't want to put any more chemicals in my body. Im trying to go somewhat organic so that's why I say no to the diet coke thing.

there are mixed reactions with the artificial sweetners... its like the cold cuts.. some doctors say it fine, some dont...
so thats why i mentioned that there will be MANY differences ...

I know one of the artificial sweeteners you should stay away from when pregnant, but I don't know which one.
I'm not a fan of articial sweeteners in general, but I do drink Diet Soft Drinks. I'll go back to regular caffeine free sodas like Sierra Mist etc when I get pregnant.
Just my opinion and what I feel comfortable with.

Re: Thoughts on "diet"??
Well I am a little different, I mostly post on the IF board bc I am doing IVF, but I stay completely away from caffeine and any artificial sweeteners - if I use sugar, I will use pure cane sugar. It was very hard to get used to but worth it! I also stay away from preservitives as much as I can.

This is what I did while on my IVF cycles. Now that I'm pregnant, I still hold to this.

ITA - it's not good for us even if we're not PG... so why drink it if we are.
A great source of "caffeine" - eat an apple. My nutritionist said that has a better effect than drinking a cup of coffee...

Re: Thoughts on "diet"??
I stopped drinking diet coke over 3 years ago when I got pregnant with my DD and havent had a drop since! so I think it can be done - I do LOVE my coffee though and while ttc have been drinking that but I will give it up when I get pregnant.

With both PG's I NEVER denied myself of anything. All in moderation. And while TTC I wouldn't cut anything out except smoking
