Since no one else has told you why, I will… Aspartame can affect brain development and cause neural damage in an unborn fetus. Stay away from it. It’s just as bad as alcohol while pregnant. Good luck with your pregnancy!

A: Don’t drink it. Regular soda is actually better. Yes, it has caffeine and sugar, but the artificial sweetner in diet soda is one that is recommended NOT for pregnant women.Soda has only about 35-65mg (depending on which kind) of caffeine, and you are allowed up to 200mg a day. So, you are fine. 😀

Even standing up for more than 15 or 20 minutes makes me tired! HELP!P.S. I’m 11 1/2 weeks. Thanks.I am taking a prenate and a folic acid every day.

A: That’s all normal for the first trimester, the baby is taking all your nutrients, the ones you used to get. Take your prenatal everydayfocus on eating healthy: fruits, veggies, lean meats ect. drink lots of water or tea(decaf) with no or little sugar.Start trying to go on short walks, like 10-15 minutes.Not only will all of these make you feel better, you and the baby will have a much smoother pregnancy 🙂

So do you think diet pills will help me loose the weight. keep in mind my work outs have to be low insenstity.. the doctors says its very bad for me trying to have a baby.

A: Diet pills often have stimulants that lead to a much higher risk of heart attack and stroke. Furthermore, rigorous cardiovascular exercise is going to be a lot less harmful to you than diet pills, considering the hoped-for pregnancy. The other issue is that you’d have to immediately stop taking the pills when you knew you were pregnant, but you might not know in time. Stimulants can cause serious and permanent damage to a fetus. Also, you should be wary of non-FDA-approved drugs. They haven’t been subjected to the extensive research (years of experimental tests) that FDA-approved drugs have, so there are likely long-term effects that aren’t known or well understood. Please be careful.Instead, try lifting free weights. Resistance exercises will help you build muscle, which will help you burn calories faster. Good luck with everything!
