pregnant/ED

[Roses]

is anybody worried about getting pregnant or being pregnant and having a full blown ED at the same time??
and what would u do if it happened??

[bones]

I'm always on birth control.
Listen to "Someone I Once Knew" by "Dead Celebrity Status."
I love that song.

[stargAzerkitty]

I've been on birth control for a year and 1/2 now,
I used to worry when I wasn't on it though,
I honestly can say If I got pregnant I don't know what I'd do.
I wouldn't want to abort it but I wouldn't want to have it,
It's one of those choices I think you can only make if the time comes.

[Roses]

me too, on the pill, do u take it before u sleep??

We're actually trying for a baby. I could be pregnant right now! I don't think I have full blown ana but I go through periods of ana..ness.... lol.
I've been pregnant before and was able to put the life of my baby first. I think most people are able to think "ok... this baby NEEDS this" and start eating more. And it's really tempting to still under-eat but you know, still have enough that the baby will live... but it's a known fact that if you restrict while pregnant your child is actually more likely to be OVERWEIGHT during his/her lifetime.
So for the sake of your child, really TRY to eat like a normal person, if you ever get pregnant. And take your vitamins for sure!! Otherwise your KID might be fat. And who would wish that on their kid?!

Plus, i mean, i gained 37 lbs with my pregnancy. You have no idea how amazing it feels to have all that weight fall of in like 2 or 3 months. I felt like a frigging stick figure. :D

I would absolutely have the baby, eat well, even if it means giving it up for adoption. I wouldn't abort because I beleive life begins at conception :)

[andreacarmenox]

this isn't your question.. but it reminded me of something weird i did today...



basically, my mom walked in on me throwing up. well, she heard me and made me open the bathroom door. i was able to make it look like i had just gotten sick but she didn't believe me. so i randomly got the idea to tell her i was pregnant... she believe that for some reason? anyways...


it's sad that i'd rather have my mom think i'm pregnant than bulimic.

[Susy]

I think that's an awesome lie. hee hee. You can fake "morning sickness" for weeks. lol. Although I'm not sure what to do when you don't grow a baby belly....

[Roses]

omg that's like the best lie i've heard XD lol but ye how'll u explain that in the next few months??

[chubbymummy]

me and my hubby strarted trying for baby number 2 over a year ago but lately in a way i have been hoping it wont happen till i get to my ugw.when i was pregnant with my little girl i actually felt good about my body for the 1st time in my life (i think its cos i was told i was infertile and my body actually proved i was a "proper" woman,i felt ashamed and not a proper woman when i thought i was goona be infertile).i loved my bump as it took 3 and a half years to get pregnant so i loved it but i put a stone on!i am petrified of putting any on now.also if i didnt eat by 2 pm when i was pregnant i would be sick and have very bad tummy ache so i had to eat and didnt want to harm my baby.xalso my friend got pregnant twice on the pill as it is only 95-97 percent effective but the inplant is meant to be good,i have never tried either as i would be scared of putting more weight on off them x

[MissAnthrope]

I had a hard time with my pregnancys... With my daughter, i quit fasting and b/p.. an gained ALOT!!! I was 190 after I had her... Then I got down to 135, n got prego with my son.. I tried not to b/p but it was so hard... I gained 50 pounds... lost 20 of it so far... but its taken me 6 months. and I have been stuck at 165 for like 4 months..... b/p is not helping...

[mard]

if i got pregnant and i had an ed id force myself to get help the minute i found out, i could never get rid of a baby

[Jtormented]

an anser to the "i dont know what to sy after like a few weeks" question...sounds bad...miscarriage...it happens commonly in teenage pregnancies...idk dont hate for that,lol. i was just reading it...and that is the first thing that popped into my mind...

[Wish.Upon.A.Star.<3]

^^

nono, see in a normal situation, yes, i think that would be pretty cruel, but when it comes to defending one's self, it does seem like the most logical manner to handle a situation like this :p

[Queen of Hearts]

I'm have a subderman form of birth control, so I'm always protected. But oh my Heavens... if I stopped using b/c and fell pregnant, I would definitely just throw away my ED. I don't know how, but I would just drag up some kind of super phenomenal will power from my toes and lift it to be a halo around my head! I'd have to. The idea of a baby and family, means more to me thatn -anything- in the world.

[Sick]

I'm actually terrified I might be pregnant now. My parents are Mormon and refused to let me be on birthcontrol, and my bf and I have been being reckless and not using condoms. I didn't have a period last month and I am a week late, so I'm going to get a test today. I am not prolife, but I don't have the money for an abortion so honestly, I wouldn't change my ED habits and hope for a misscarriege. =(

[Susy]

Chances of a miscarriage are very low. You are much more likely to have a baby with a birth defect, than anything else. If you are pregnant it'll show up on a test by now. Pee on a stick! you can get them at the dollar store.

[Susy]

Also. It's not simply a matter of "oh I missed this period. but the next one should come on time."
If you miss one, it could come at ANY time. Once you finally ovulate, your period will come 2 weeks later. And you could ovulate at any time. (assuming you're not pregnant.)
Or you could just have breakthrough bleeding at any time, which is like a period, but without the ovulation first. either way, it could come at any time. Know what i mean?

[amanda10]

I worry about this alot..

Although im not tryig for a baby me and my boyfriend definately want a big family..
But i do worry that i would have pregnancy ed...
Its a horrible thought cause i would never want to do anything to harm a baby,I would like to think that i would seek help if it did happen...

[blah1110]

I'm a mummy to a 14 month old. I did a temporary recovery when I was pregnant and whilst I was breastfeeding but I know not everyone who has an ED can do that. For me, my precious baby was more important than ana was. However, it seems like I'm not as important as ana and shes taken hold again.

p.s. i gained about 60lbs when I got pregnant but I binged almost every single day. I've lost 40lbs but still a ways to go.
We're trying for another baby in the summer so I really need to lose the weight before then so I can let myself eat like a regular person to nourish the baby.

I feel kinda bad about agreeing with you. But i dont need a child and if you go without food for a month there is a big chance there will be a misscarriege... as long as u do it during the 1st month.

But!! Thats just what i would do cuz i think i would freak out and be scared and depressed. In some weird way my mom raised me to think prego and babies = the devil 0.0 and i dont even believe in the devil.

Most likely i would stop and not hurt the baby, i just couldnt see myself doing that in reality... but during the first moments of realising it I would probobly think starve. which is sad x.x

[BiG-fake-SMiLE]

i'm scared to death of intimacy and sex so i'll never be preggo :P.....but if in a weird cosmic way i became preggers i'd make sacrifices for the baby.

Go to a nutritionist. Take supplements. Talk to your doctor about exercise. My mom only gained 28 pounds with me. (she smoked but no birth defects) I was just 5 pounds and a month late. LOL

[BCherry]

It's seriously selfish and I felt horrible, but throughout my pregnancy I restricted a lot the first two trimesters and then I began to binge and purge the last. To be even more out of control of my body was horrible, and my babies growth was slowed, but she was born normal, with a little scare in the development of her brain. But she's had MRIs and CTs and everything appears to be normal, the most that would happen to her would be that shed possibly develop something like dyslexia.

It's so scary though. I know at first I did not want my baby, I thought about abortion non stop, but I couldnt do it. My fiance was adopted and he really wants a family so that or giving her up wouldve hurt him so bad. But Im glad I stuck it through.

I just dont want to get pregnant again. I cant handle it..

I've been on birth control for a year and 1/2 now,
I used to worry when I wasn't on it though,
I honestly can say If I got pregnant I don't know what I'd do.
I wouldn't want to abort it but I wouldn't want to have it,
It's one of those choices I think you can only make if the time comes.

I'm pretty sure I couldn't make the choice unless I was faced with it. I like to do the honorable thing, so I hope I would keep the baby, but to be honest, could I really deal with it? I know I couldn't adopt it out. Would it be fair on the baby? I hope that I would commit to recovery and keep it. But I have other things to consider besides my disorder so... not sure.
