What's the rule on diet soda?
I find that it occassionally satiates my sweet craving.. but I feel awful about the sweeteners and chemicals. One I'm nursing, and two I'm ttc... so that's not good.

Any ideas? Alternatives? Caffinated sweet sugar free drinks??

As far as the diabetes issue goes....
My best advice would be to ask your OB/Gyn what they think about it.

When I was TTC I did not drink any diet sodas at all. I found at Wal-Mart they have a great water that is flavored with fruit that is carbonated while decaffeinated and sugar free. I found I had certain flavors I liked better than others, but also that it did not affect me at all. I even would have one when I was breastfeeding my youngest son and found them to be very refreshing, but also a big change from drinking plain old water all the time. Now granted I did not drink lots of them in a day just would have maybe 2 at the most as my treat.
I am currently expecting our third child and I still drink one every other day as my treat and have found that they do not affect fertility or pregnancy at all. I do hope this helps you out some and that you do get your dream to come true of having another child very soon. I am sending you all the "baby" vibes I can right to you in hopes of it helping you achieve your dream. Take care and do let us all know how your doing. Have a terrific day!

Papsi Edge and Coke's C2 are both actually part sugar, part Splenda, and part one other artificial sweetener.
Still, there are a LOT of other non-caffinated pop's out there.
Please tune in later for a new signature. :)
