I've been told that you shouldn't consume the artifical sweetners but then again on here, everyone said it's ok. My doctor gave me a pregnancy journal that is provided by the hospital and it says not to consume them. I've stayed clear of them just in case.

Here's what the journal says.....

Avoid artificial sweetners. It is unknown what amount of these sweetners is safe for an unborn child.

You can probably have some but not over-do it. I'm just going to stay far away from them just in case!
