Is sucralose safe during pregnancy?

I'm pregnant and trying to cut down on sugar but I still crave sweets sometimes. I was thinking of using sucralose instead. Is it safe to use during pregnancy, or should I just avoid it completely?

My elder sister was super paranoid about this during her pregnancy. Her gynecologist said moderate use of sucralose is totally fine and safe, but she still kept it to a minimum just to be on the safe side.

Pregnancy is a very sensitive phase and you cannot take any chances. While many food agencies label sucralose as safe, please get it confirmed by your obstetrician before consuming any artificial sweeteners.

I checked the safety ratings on my prenatal health app and FDA guidelines show sucralose is safe during pregnancy. It doesn't cross the placenta, but tracking your overall gut health is still important during these nine months.

I am currently 14 weeks pregnant and so scared of eating the wrong thing. My doctor said a little sucralose is fine, but I still feel anxious every time I have a diet soda. Has anyone else felt this nervous about sweeteners?

Most international pregnancy guidelines suggest it is safe in moderation. If you are tracking expenses for prenatal care and tests, sticking to basic natural foods and avoiding fancy processed diabetic snacks is a smart way to save money anyway.
