I totally think you need to tell your obgyn. Maybe she will have some good advice. When i was pregant I wasn't in my eating disorder. I had body image issues but being pregnant was the ONLY time that I didn't care that my stomach protruded. It was supposed to there was a baby in there. Just try to visualize a little baby in there getting the nutrients from the food you eat and then when yoiu purge you are essentially stealing it away- like teasing. I hope this is not harsh as it is not meant to be. When I found out I was pregnant I was a smoker. I used to picture my baby being stuck in a womb of smoke, coughing and choking. That worked to keep me from lighting up. I have not smoked since (@11years now). I do hope this helps and does not make you feel bad. HUGS and congratulations on your pregnancy!!!

you have to make your choice - you know what you're going to do. you have support here! and hopefully you have support of your family and friends. Its a lot to carry on your on and makes feel so much bigger! i didnt let anyone know and my partner didnt support me. I didn't say anything my pregnancies and in continued my behaviors - I lost that child. my doctor said my body could support the pregnancy and the baby wasn't healthy. I hope you find somewhere to turn to find joy because it is a joyous time! I'm here for you

I too went through my pregnancies not telling anyone about by bulimia. My husband was not supportive and I had to deal with the shame and guilt all alone. I hope you will talk to someone and get help. I am getting help now after years of doing it alone. I just need to be well. Hope this helps and you can talk to me if you need to.

my 3 children were born when i wasnt active in a eating disorder, though i do remember trying not to gain much, but i felt the healthiest when pregnant. i want that for you too, i want this time to be full of joy and happiness. therefore i also reccomend telling your ob/gyn doctor, she needs t know, so she can monitor you and the baby better. she may also have support groups you can go to, books to read on the topic, etcc... i believe you will feel better after this, no guilt need aply. congraulations and welcome.
