Pregnant or what?

[krystalbling]

Hey, I have a simi-complicated situation. I have had an eatting disorder for some time now. No one knows about it but myself. For about a week now, I have not been feeling like myself. I have been having a lot of vaginal discharge/secretion, and lastnight I noticed that my nipples are turning much darker...like almost a purple color. Also, this morning, I woke up with very mild cramps, but my stomach is soooo bloated. I feel like I'm about to start my period, but it's not due for another couple of weeks. And to add to that, the period that I had 2 weeks ago was 2 weeks early and it only lasted 2 days....normally mine last 4-5 days...it was a heavy period..normal color. I don't know if I should be concerned if I'm pregnant, or if having an eating disorder is causing my body to undergo this change. I am a 22 year old mother of 1 (Autumn Jade, 16 months old). All of the symptoms that I had when I found out I was pregnant with her (missed period, tender breasts, cramping) I am not experiencing now. But on the other hand, when I found out I was pregnant with her, I wasn't bulimic at that point. But I've always heard that every pregnancy will be different. Will someone please offer me some valuable advice!! Other than the obvious ones regarding bulimia...I'm working on fixing that regardless if I'm pregnant or not. Thank you!!

u cant talk about a possible pregnancy and not talk about the eating disorder ... i would say ur symptoms r more ur starving ur body of everything it needs to make ur womanly parts work ... u certainly need to see a doc if not about the eating disorder about the possible pregnancy spewing a few times isnt going to harm a child this early on but u could do some HUGE damage to a child if u keep it up .. i would get help if not for urself but for the daughter that is already here .. u r teaching her food is bad and she will realise soon enough that everytime mummy eats she runs to the bathroom and pick up ur bad habbits ... All the best and good luck oxox

I am a strong believer in everything happens for a reason!!  So, if you are pregnant, maybe it is a sign to try to get yourself better.  I don't think that if you have purged a few times lately that it will hurt your baby.  Just like your doctor told you about drinking, try not to do it again.  Not so easily done, I know, I had this problem in high school, but thankfully I had a very supportive family, who forced me to eat and followed me around for the next hour.  I hope everything works out for the best for you.  Baby's can come at inopportune times, but things always seem to work out.  All the best to you.

Hey, Thanks for the help.. Ya know, it's not really the right time for me to have another baby...our finances aren't where I'd like them to be...by daughter is still a "baby" to me..but ..I think I'd love it if I found out that I was pregnant. I'd have to, right?! Everything would work itself out...it always seems to. But if I find out that I'm not, that will also be a good thing...as I said before,..it's not really the opportune time for me to have another baby. To tell you the truth, I have actually been getting excited about thinking that I might be preggers. I have had this eating disorder for about 6 years...I obviously quit doing it while I was pregnant with Autumn..but shortly after I had her...like cigerets, I picked it right back up. I don't know...it worries me because if I am pregnant...obviously I haven't known..and yes, I have purged many times...not today of course..but ...I don't know...do you think that if I am pregnant that I've done any harm to the baby? ...Or is it like drinking? When I found out that I was pregnant with autumn 2 years ago, I had just been through a couple of months of nothing but partying and getting smashed almost every single night....then when I found out, I was 8 weeks pregnant. I asked my dr. if I had anything to worry about because I drank so much during the majority of the first trimester, but he told me "don't cry over spilt milk" and just not to do it anymore.....so...what do you think?

hey sweetie. I struggle with eating too. And before I found out I was pregnant I had a weird 2 day period. then when my period was due again it didnt come and I took a test that came back positive. I had the same thing- nipple changes, bloating, really tired, etc.

So I would say theres probably a good chance you could be preggers.. would that be a good/bad thing? I struggled with eating in the beginning of this pregnancy and I still do but I am eating enough to be healthy so all is well.

Message me anytime you want! I could talk about food issues forever..
