As with caffeine, use artificial sweetners during pregnancy in moderation. If you can't have your ice tea without sweet-n-low then use a small amount of sweetner. You don't want to find yourself using sweetners for your cereals and your ice tea during pregnancy because then you are excessively using them. The truth is, not a lot is known about excessive use of sweeteners during pregnancy. So again everything in moderation.
