Eating Disorder struggles

Anyone else have an eating disorder and finding it a little hard dealing with gaining weight because of the pregnancy? I would never diet or purge while being pregnant. That could really really harm the baby and the baby is way more important than bad body image problems.  But I just can't stop thinking about after I have my baby taking care of him or her and being on dieting and losing a bunch of weight. Does anyone else have this problem?

I have an eating disorder the doctors don't let me see my weight. I have the same feeling though that once she is out that I'm going to freak about my weight....I'm freaking out about my weight right now...its definatly a learning experience

Ive always had an eating problem so every time I get pregnant it gets worse Im so depressed from the weight I gain I hate getting my weight checked I tell my nurse to not tell me I eat and exercise so I don't harm my baby for my selfish reasons but like I said it's hard after my baby is born I go crazy and exercise like crazy and diet like crazy I don't think I will ever be happy with my body but I couldn't let myself do anything stupid to hurt my baby and since I have kids I can't do anything to hurt my self either

I've had trouble gaining weight since I've been pregnant I'm 17 weeks and I doubt I even gained 3 lbs by now I just don't have an appetite for food really only for cold things and fruits...my appetite just came back 2 weeks ago finally I want food...by the way I  never vomited or really had any morning sickness

If u eat healthy and stay active during your pregnancy then the only weight u will gain is all baby and then.when your baby is born you'll be all fluid but that's easie to lose that fat. My sister was the same way only she wouldn't eat until I forced her too and made sure she kept it down and a few weeks after her son was born she was back to her old body but with bigger boobs lol you'll be fine
