Please get help ASAP.

You're right, you have to stop for your baby. you are now responsible for someone other than yourself, who is helpless against what you do to yourself.

Please talk to your doctor ASAP, get yourself on track. I'm so happy you were able to GET preggo. All the girls in my group have either a 25% chance of conceiving or less. So we are happy you conceived, but PLEASE, get some help.

This is no longer about you, and what you can or cannot control. This is about the baby.

I'm not trying to be rude, so please don't take offense, but you are SO lucky you conceived. So please try your hardest to get yourself help.

What kind of recovery do you have right now? And are you taking supplements & vitamins? Have you talked to your doc about possible complications? How is your heart?

I have so many questions...Please google recovery in your area, and good luck.You & your baby are in my heart & prayers.

You need to see your GP IMMEDIATELY about a referral to a therapist. IMMEDIATELY. Like you said, you don't want to geopardise the baby's health, but you will if you don't start working on your mental and physical health RIGHT NOW.

http://www.something-fishy.org offers treatment options, as well as the NEDA website (you can Google it).

I will tell you a little story. I had a friend who was anorexic, but became severely bulimic during her pregnancy. Her baby came out several weeks early, jaundiced, by c-section. After seeing the way her mother refuses food for the first few years of her life, she started refusing food and when her mother tried to force feed her, she would scream so loud that she actually broke a hole in her esophagus. Now they have regular visits to the doctor, who tells them that the hole is getting bigger, while her daughter is slipping into the severely underweight category for children her age.

That was meant to sober you up with what you're doing, despite the fact that I know that it's not a choice. The choice, however, is whether you get treatment to save your life and your baby's.

I am scared for you......I was told by my counsellor that if I got pregnant there would be a high possibility I would go back to a normal way of eating 'for the baby' as apparantly a lot of us do. I do not know how to help you other than to please go and talk to a nutritionist and ED counsellor. You and your baby are in my prayers - hugs to you sweetie xoxo

I relapsed during my second pregnacy, so I know what you are going through. I gained 14 pounds in the first 4 months and it freaked me out. I only gained that much during my entire first pregnacy, so I thought this was too much. I started to restrict. My husband then told my doctor that I was throwing up after I ate, which I wasn't, but my doctor believed him. I thought that if I am going to be acused of throwing up, I might as well just do it. I did it a couple times. It was stupid, but ED had taken over my mind and body completely. I just thought that I had enough fat on my body and that the baby could survive on that. My doctor didn't know much about eating disorders, so she didn't know how to help me. She did threaten to have me hosptialized with a feeding tube, but she never acted on it. The last 5 months of my pregnancy I didn't gain any weight at all. My husband would get very upset and he cried alot. He told me I was killing our unborn baby. But since ED had complete control over me, I thought everything would be just fine. I ended up having to get induced a month early because the baby wasn't getting what she needed from me. The ulrta sound also showed that she wasn't growing at the normal rate. During my delivery the NICU doctors had to be present in my room just incase. That's when reality set in and I wished I could turn back time and not let ED take over. Thank God everything turned out fine. She was healthy and didn't need the NICU. She was small, but not much smaller then my first. She was 5 pounds 12 onces born a month early. That night, when I was alone in my hospital room, I cried. I couldn't believe I cared more about my weight then the health of my baby. I was lucky that I had a healthy baby, but you might not be if you continue on like this. I suggest you find an OB doctor that understands ED's or if she/he doesn't have her/him recommend someone. Maybe you can even see a nutritionist who can get you on a meal plan that is healthy for you and your baby, but won't mack you gain an excessive amount if weight. If you eat sensably, the weight will come of easily after you give birth. Just take care of yourself.

I'm afraid of getting pregnant because of the weight gain, so I understand where you're coming from. Please talk to your doctor and if he/she doesn't understand, have them refer you to someone who specializes in ED and can help you get through this pregnancy. You'll be thankful when you have a healthy baby and you're healthy too.
