? Crystal Light?

Did you stop drinking crystal light when you got pregnant??? My NUT told me it's best to play it safe and not drink it, but I'm craving it so bad. I miss my flavored water :( Does anyone still drink it??

I would like to know the answer to this as well. I am sitting here at work craving something other than water!! I love crystal light but the nutritionist at the office I work at told me I should quit drinking it because of the sugar subsitute.

My first pregnancy I wouldn't drink anything sugar free unless it was made from splenda.  My second pregnancy I drank crystal light.   I have a perfectly healthy two year old and a perfectly healthy 1 month old.   I wouldn't suggest drinking 3 gallons of crystal light a day, but I personally see no harm in having a few glasses.

the american pregnancy association says that asparatame (the stuff in crystal light) and splenda are safe to be used in pregnancy, in moderation.   So as long as you don't overdo it each day and drink like 5 gallons of CL, then you should be fine.   lol

Before I found out I was pregnant I was drinking 96 oz of crystal light a day! Now I drink none. It is sooooooo hard to get my water in. I switched to country time lemonade and just don't use as much mix, just enough to give it a little flavor, but it has sugar and calories, so I have to be careful with that.

I�Still drink it.�If you look at the store some of the brands are made with splenda too if you are more comfortable with that then the aspartame.

Oh and you can also get the un-sweetened kool aid packets and add splenda to them.

I drink it occasionally. But mostly I have just been drinking water with a slice of lemon in it.

I drink it.  I was told it was ok though. 

I drink it on and off. but more often just use a little juice in my water.

I was told it was okay in moderation so I drink it when I have to have some flavor.
