Yes: While it technically is safe, as their is no evidence of harm to date, aspartame is a chemical sweetener that has no role in a whole foods diet. If you must have some, limit is as much as possible, but try to enhance the flavor of teas or water with fresh cut fruit instead.

It does not cross the placenta, and is not a risk to you unless you have phenylketonuria - a rare genetic disorder. However, it is always prudent to limit all meds, supplements and the like during pregnancy except as instructed by your ob>.
