Ok, I have found the one thing that helps my morning sickness, and it is Eclipse Peppermint Gum. I have been chewing on it religiously for over a week now. I just realized that it is sugarfree, and contains aspartame. Should I stop with this gum? Do you think it could hurt the baby?? Any alternatives, although I don't want a lot of sugar....

Yay for you that you finally found something to curb your sickness! I was actually wondering the same thing about sugarfree gum - funny that its never on any 'foods to avoid' lists for preggos... have you tried regular peppermint candies??

I'm not really comfortable with the aspartame, I don't know if it would have any affect - but I wouldnt take the chance --

I limited my aspartame when I was pregnant. Have you tried the red and white candies yet? I'm telling you that was my saving grace.

I asked this same question to my Dr. and he said that the amount is so small that it will not effect the baby. No need to be concerned.
