Diet and pregnancy: Artificial sweeteners should probably not be used in excess during pregnancy. There are no definitive studies of risks or safety - however, the currently available artificial sweetening products are generally considered safe when used in moderation during pregnancy. You should observe a well balanced diet during your pregnancy - there are numerous sources of guidance for diet in pregnancy.
