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

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.
