Hi I am new to this and not sure if ive posted in the right place or not.
I have just discovered I am pregnant and although I should be excited about this, due to mental health/eating disorders I am finding it a struggle.my husband is excited and I pretend to be but inside I am terrified,I struggle each day with bulimia and have since October 2008,to be honest I am surprised that after all the bingeing/purging I have put my body through I can still become pregnant. I purge at least 5 times a day and find this extremely hard to control or stop,I have seemed help from my GP and an eating disorder charity but this has led to nothing,doctor put me on anti depressants for anxiety/mood disorder and this has helped with both of them but obviously bulimia won't go away.i am wondering how it will affect my baby and if any else is in the same position as me or has been?i do not know what to do for the best. I feel very down and while this should be a happy time all it is doing is worrying me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thank you xxx
