Trying to cut down on regular sugar so i picked up a monk fruit sweetener from the store. Now im second guessing if its even ok during pregnancy. Anyone used it in these months?
I switched to monk fruit during my GD to cut sugar and my dietician was okay with small use. But please dont assume, every case is different. Ask your doctor since it links to your sugar plan.
I lean towards natural sweeteners over white sugar honestly. In moderation it seemed fine for me. Still, for anything you eat daily in pregnancy, run it by your doc once.
Monk fruit is generally considered a natural sweetener but honestly there isnt a ton of research for pregnancy. I used it in small amounts only after my doctor said it was fine. Best to confirm with your gynac before making it regular.
