Am I hurting my baby? Freaking out a bit here.

I'm seven weeks pregnant and have morning sickness. The only drinks that are really helping me are diet ginger ale and Crystal Light Lemonade. I read this morning that artificial sweeteners are bad for the baby! I'm probably freaking out too much because of my hormones, but I'm worried.
Is Splenda safe? Nothing I read mentioned Sucralose.

 my advice is to call your ob and find out what they recommend! Congrats on the pregnancy though!

i looked into this and it takes the equivalant of 14 cans of diet pop per day to harm the baby

I drink a LOT of crystal light...my little guy was born perfectly healthy at 7 pounds 6 oz., 3 days shy of his due date.

Definitely going to call the OB, but thanks so much for calming my nerves in the mean time!

I drank diet drinks my entire pregnancy.  I think you will be fine

I also drank diet drinks while pregnant and my fireball of a little boy is just fine!  He's always made it to milestones long before he was expected.  He was walking when he was only 9 months old.  I'm sure you will be just fine!

Everything I've read says Surcralose (the yellow packets) is the safest choice during pregnancy.

I'm horrible about drinking stuff! Water has been hard for me to stomach on a day to day basis...some days I can drink and others I just cant. So, I've been getting most of my fluids in the form of crystal light or diet caffeine free soda...I think I would be dehydrated otherwise!!

I think you are fine. However, the reason sucralose is not recommended during pregnancy is because there is no long term studies done about the effects it has on the pregnancy or the baby.

I personally haven't touched the stuff since getting pregnant.

However I have....

permed my hair
drank coffee
and ate deli meat

So go figure....LOL.
