honey please tell me you are at the very least taking prenatal vitamens....This CANNOT be about you and your relationship with ED right now it HAS to be about you and your baby. Please talk to your OBGYN about this.

u need to eat well. if you dont do it for you- then do it for your baby. theres a human growing inside of you- a little person who needs nourishment to grow.

While it is important for your baby to get nourishment, it is also pretty damn vital for you to have a peace of mind--considering your baby is feeling what you are feeling.

Consider all that is going on in your mind. Maybe you're stressed about how much change will occur in your life once the baby is born. This is normal even for the non-ED-sufferers. I think it may be possible that you have forgotten the positive that will come from having this baby. Think about it. Do you have a counselor you can talk to about these feelings?
