Pregnancy - Teens Support Group

This community is dedicated to the experience of being pregnant as a teenager. Pregnant teenagers face many of the same obstetrics issues as women in their 20s and 30s. However, there are additional medical concerns for younger mothers, particularly those under 15 and those living in developing countries. For mothers between 15 and 19, age in itself is not a risk factor,...

My beautiful girlfriend is pregnant and not even a month along and she is incapable of eating unless I am there and sit with her. I will do it but it is intense to know that she wouldn't eat or not throw up if I wasn't there with her. I love her to death and I want to marry her one day but I am fearing for our child's life. I know she needs more help and I can't sit with her every day for the duration of her pregnancy. I would if I could but I can't. Again, I fear for the life of our child. HELP!

Hi! So glad you've come here for help and support for your girlfriend and its a beautiful thing you're doing in trying your hardest to help her through this. Unfortunately, she needs more than you...though you're a MAJOR part in her recovery so keep up the good work. First of all i'd make sure she's on a good pregnancy vitamin/supplement as if her diet isn't stable you need to make sure her and baby are getting the vitamins and minerals they need each day at least. Secondly, she should seek councelling. It might be nice if you held her hand through at least the first few sessions. My sister has bulemia and it is something that will never go away. They can get better but that disease will still live on within them. At the moment, she needs your support most of all, and that councelling will help her to get in control of her issue with food. You're doing a great job daddy-to-be! Best of luck to you and your family. xx

Hey, you really need to get something done to stop her from doing this to herself and to that precious baby growing insie of her!!
It is awesome to see how much you support her but she is going to need more then just you if you can't be there for her 24/7.
Maybe you could talk to a doctor about it and se what he has to say??
Whatever she does eat in the day will go straight to the baby so at least you know if she only eats once a day and keeps it down it is going straight to the baby.
Please do all you can to save her and the baby even if it means doing things that will upset her at the time she will be grateful once she holds her beautiful baby in her arms!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
