Re: when you are about to try....
I am not sure...but cutting back on caffeine now will make it easier to cut back on it while pregnant (and breastfeeding). Also, this is strictly my opinion, but I would stay away from artificial sweetners and just stick with basic sugar.

Tammy I've heard the same thing about Splenda. It does not have saccharin or aspartame-it has something else called sucralose which is supposed to derive from sugar and therefore be safer. I use it myself and it tastes slightly different than Equal but not bad- you'll get used to it. And there's no calories.

I am drinking an iced coffee with Splenda right now. To me, it tastes much better than Equal or Sweet N Low.
I am limiting my sugar as part of my low carb diet on the Slim Down board, glad to hear that Splenda is the right choice on this board too!

Re: when you are about to try....
honestly I do not put any of that fake sugar stuff in my body right now. there is no way that they know the lasting effects of those product since studies take many, many years to complete. I cut out caffine once i found out I was pregnant, although i do eat some choc stuff.

I am a spleda- holic!!
I have cut back on caffine. But since I don't like water at all (but I know my body needs it ) I drink about 5 Fruit 2 O's a day. They are made with Splenda. I did a lot of research on Splenda and all studies that I have seen say that it is safe for pregnancy.
