Does anyone know if Splenda is ok during pregnancy?

Personally, I would not use it. It's an artificially produced sweetener. When I was pregnant my OB warned me not to use ANY artificial sweeteners. Anything that is chemically produced, your brain doesn't recognize it as "food" and doesn't know how to process it. You'd be better off just using sugar. At least your body knows what to do with that.
