Are you avoiding sf stuff during your pg?

In the past few months, I've loved having Light v8 splash, crystal light, sf hawaiian punch- but those all have either splenda or asparatame in them.   The CL and the SFHP have helped me get my water in (not a big water drinker) and now that I'm pg, do I have to limit these or avoid them all together??  Has anyone asked their doctor about this?  I mean I don't have them daily, but when I get sick of drinking plain water, I'll have a mix in of this stuff in a water bottle like 2-3 times a week!  I realized now that this stuff might not be so good for my little bun in the oven!

Everyone is different on what they feel comfortable with during pregnancy, and I am sure you will get differing opinions from doctor's, too.

I ate and drank what I wanted while I was pregnant.  I was pregnant and damn it, I was going to be happy and enjoy it!  :o)  Well, I didn't drink alcohol or eat any raw foods.  But you know what I mean.  LOL

 If I didn't drink the SF stuff I'd be dying of dehydration.  I can't stand plain water.   My fave stock of juice atm is Koolaid Jammers 10 :)

Nope, not avoiding!  I drank crystal lite daily, all day long with Kellen and now I'm a caffeine free diet coke freak with this pregnancy.  I also drink a decaf, skinny latte every day from starbucks.  I can't have straight sugar or my blood sugars would be thru the roof so I do what I have to.  I'm picky abou****er too!  LOL.  I only really like Sam's Choice water from Walmart.  Just tastes better to me for some reason.  Don't ask, I have no idea!  LOL!

Honestly I'm drinking whatever sounds good to me. These days thats OJ...I go through at least 3 quarts a week right now. I also love cranberry juice and sprite, Its carbonated so I let it sit for a bit but I love it and the NUT advises all the fruit juices I can stand for the calories.

wow you can drink OJ, Cranberry juice, and sprite without dumping???  How much do you drink at a time?  I can tolerate a good amount of sugar and am not a dumper (so far), but haven't tried drinking OJ yet.   I have this fear I'll dump on it because it is a pretty sugary drink.  

well I might not avoid the sf drinks then, but I will ask my doc at my 9 week visit in a few weeks about it.   I love my Light V8 drinks, they actually have fruits and veggies in them, so they are good for me.   I can't stand soda since I've had surgery and have tried little sips a few times in the last few months.   All I can taste is this chemical taste and the gassy carbonation in that sip of soda and it's so nasty now- how did I ever drink it before??? lol  I wasn't a big soda drinker though pre op, so it wasn't hard to give up.   I would much rather have diet juice or flavored water now.

I agree. I've limited my Coke Zero to about 2 a day and then it's Sprite Zero or flavored water. I can't drink plain water unless it's Very cold. I haven't heard of any issues with this.

Sorry, I've limited my caffeine intake, but not SF stuff altogether, is what I was trying to say.

I haven't limited sugarfree from my diet! I also read in my "Your Pregnancy Week by Week" book that Splenda is completely safe and they aren't sure about asparatame because there haven't been any studies. I don't think there is anything to worry about!
