35 weeks pregnant fighting Anorexia

[adenzangel]

I am 35 weeks pregnant with a girl and have managed to be healthy the whole time. I am afraid that I will return to starving myself afterwards. Even now I have thought about how small I would like to be and how horrible I will look after delivery. I don't want to spred this disease to my daughter. Any thoughts?

I curious - did you have trouble getting pregnant at all?  I am 28 years old and probably have had some eating issues for most of my life (though not severe). I am 5'3 1/2" and about 104 lbs and I am having tremendous difficulties getting pregnant. I went off the pill a little over a year ago and after 6 months of trying with only one period during that time, tried Clomid for 2 cycles (both failed). I then tried injectible medications for 3 cycles. I got pregnant each time but had very early miscarriages all 3 times (I believe they call them chemical pregnancies). I feel at such a loss right now. I don't know if it's me or some other factor and it makes me very sad. Any thoughts??

adenz,
I know where you are I have been there . I manged to be healthy threw my pregnancy with my son but got really ill after. I would suggest you get into both a nutritionist and a therapist before the baby is born to help you out. I never did inpatient  because there was never any thing available in my area . It really was the love of and for my children that I got better . I remember having when my daughter was 8 and my son was two I was 82 pnds and really afraid i was going to die . I dont ever want you too get there. Plz talk to someone about this .feel free to email me.
