I haven't heard much about Splenda during pregnancy... I always make sure to use it instead of Nutrsweet because it's made from sugar so it seems like the better alternative... anyone heard that it is unsafe?

I have heard that is is safer than nutrasweet but not entireley safe as it is produced by chlorinating sugar and can cause the thymus gland to shrink. A natural alternative would be Stevia which can be ordered online from America.

I agree with Sandy. Natural is better (just keep it in moderation). Stevia is a great alternative.
