HELLO TAMMY! I JUST WANTED TO ADD MY TWO CENTS....NOT ONLY DOES DIET SODA CONTAIN NUTRASWEET WHICH IS THOUGHT TO BE A CARCINOGEN (IT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO CAUSE CANCER IN LAB STUDIES) BUT IT ALSO CONTAINS A MODERATE AMOUNT OF CAFFEINE -DEPENDING UPON HOW MUCH YOU DRINK (I USED TO DRINK AT LEAST 40 OZ'S A DAY) -WHICH IS A KNOWN STIMULANT AFFECTING YOU AND BABY. LASTLY OF COURSE IS THE LACK OF ANYTHING NUTRITIOUS IN DIET SODA. FRUIT JUICE (THAT DOESN'T CONTAIN SUGAR AND CORN SYRUP) IS THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE IN SMALL AMOUNTS (THE DIETITICIAN I WORK WITH SAID NO MORE THAN 10 OZS IS NEEDED A DAY) AND WATER THE REST OF THE TIME. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU-AND HAVE A HEALTHY PREGNANCY.
