EATING DISORDERS COMMUNITY
Battling Malnutrition

Battling Malnutrition

I have been struggling with an eating disorder for roughly 6 years and haven't found any help. I can't sit at a table with other people when we are gonna have a meal. I prefer to do everything on my own and even when I eat alone I feel nausea, anxiety and I can't eat. This is an every day thing and I have lost about 40 lbs and can't seem to get rid of this disorder. I'm pregnant and I'm afraid my baby will not be healthy or have birth defects. Is there anyone that can help with this?

Hi!
If you do not eat then your baby will not get all the nutrients. Hence you may have a baby that is small for age and has nutritional deficiencies. Also as the growing baby needs food, it will draw nutrients from your body. This will make you more weak. Now you have to think about your baby and yourself. I suggest you consult a counselor and doctor specializing in eating disorder to see how best they can help you and your baby.
Take care!
