Sweeteners during pregnancy

[newmumtobe1998]

Random one, I wasn’t made aware of avoiding sweeteners whilst pregnant so I’ve had 2 every morning in my decaff coffee? 29 weeks and now I’m really worried as I was no aware of this - it isn’t on the NHS guidelines.

I haven't heard of this @newmumtobe1998and I have sweeteners in my tea & coffee, always have even pre pregnancy.

Where did you hear it?

Saw it on a video about what to avoid during pregnancy, when looked it up it says to avoid too, so its made me confused as I wasn’t aware of this also and worried! I’ve been using them the whole way through.

You’ll tie yourself in knots if you believe everything you read or see online.

Try not to worry, if it's not on the NHS guidelines potentially its not relevant to the ingredients in UK sweeteners

Stick to NHS

I have two in my tea a couple of times a day and I'm on my third healthy baby!
