I usually add sugar free tablets in my tea to avoid weight gain. Now that im pregnant im not sure if these artificial sweeteners are okay for baby. Anyone using them?
My pregnancy tracker app had a whole article on this! It said most sugar-free sweeteners are okay in tiny amounts, but it's best to limit them. I switched to small amounts of organic honey and felt much safer.
Arey baba, if we stop everything sweet, life will become so boring na! But seriously, don't go crazy on artificial sweeteners, natural jaggery is much better than those chemical ones.
I have seen this question quite a few times here, dear. Generally, natural sugars are preferred over artificial ones during these nine months. If you are diabetic, please let your gynac guide you on what brand is safe.
Actually, I had thyroid issues and was always scared of my blood reports. My gynac told me to avoid artificial sweeteners completely and stick to natural options. Better to check your reports with your doctor first.
Uff, my morning sickness was so bad that even tea tasted like poison. I wanted sweet things but avoided sugar-free pills as they made me feel more nauseous. Better to stick to normal sugar in very small quantities.
There is mixed research on sweeteners like aspartame, so I generally avoided them. Honestly, checking with your doctor is the safest bet because every pregnancy is different. Try using dates or stevia if they approve.
Just had my delivery two months back and I remember asking this to my nutritionist. She told me to avoid sugar-free sodas and foods entirely. Normal home cooked sweets in tiny amounts are much safer.
