Is diet soda bad during pregnancy?

[dinkygreg]

I am 8 weeks pregnant and I just read somewhere that it is bad to drink diet soda or anything containing aspartame/sweeteners while pregnant, but one of the pregnancy books I've read says aspartame is not harmful to most pregnant women or their fetuses. I searched online and found tons of mixed up reviews on diet soda. Is it safe to drink diet soda or anything containing aspartame and any other artificial sweeteners while pregnant?

Thanks for your inputs.
