When I talked to the doctor I was going to he said that you could use splenda just cut back on how much you do use. I have always used decaf tea! Also I never really drink caffeinated drinks anymore...Far as I know as long as you do not use them "overly" then it should be fine. My SIL did Splenda with her two children when she was preggo.
Yea I've heard that too, I'm just really nervous. I used Splenda in my Coffee and Tea when I was Pregnant last time and I ended up M/C. My doctor said it had nothing to do with that but I can't help think that maybe if I watched what I put in my body...ya know? I mean I did but there were like little things like Splenda, Caffeine, Deli Meats..stuff like that, that I ate every now and than. And I know it's not a guarantee against a M/C but I'm just trying to do every single thing right...so I have no what if's...
I gave up Caffeine..not that I drank a whole lot of it..but I just gave it up this week, going good so far!
Thanks for the info :)
I normally try to have one drink a day or I get massive head aches...but now it hasn't been that bad. I'm just worried about what's going on with me now.
I m/c in September of 06 It sacred me to death. I did not even know that I was! Now I look back and I'm the same way...what happens if I don't know...what happens if this or that. I know exactly what you mean...it is hard...and frustrating.
I was advised to use splenda as well especially after they diagnosed me with gestational diabetes. The specialist I went to said "it is sugar for you and not for your baby" so i guess maybe it doesn't cross over as much. Other than that i don't have much for you in the ttc part of it although i know how you feel about wanting to check everything out and see if it might have been related to your m/c.
Thanks Ladies! Okay, I prolly will just stay away from it for now until I consult with my Doctor..better safe than sorry!
