Hey there girl!, im alex 20 with a 18 months old baby girl...well Meg ask me give you some advice...you may be wondering why... well ive been suffering from eating disorders since i can remember it has affected me in so many ways that you wouldnt believe, my heart, liver, kidneys, eyes, bones, ovaries, are damaged for the rest of my life, i would never have a normal function,... To star things, i got pregnant at 17, i was really scared i even hurted myself, telling my parents was the most difficult thing for me to do, but i told them because i was scared that my eating disorders could affect my baby in any way, i weighed 38 kgs 3 months before i got pregnant and im 166 cms tall so that was really harsh for my body, im also hyperthiroid and they told me that i would never have kids, well they were wrong, i weighed 40 kg by the time i got preg, because all of this i had a really dangerous pregnancy for both me and my baby, they have to check me every month, being pregnant and with an eating disorder was really hard, even though i tried i still starved myself sometimes, and puked,but the last few months i manged to eat healthy with a few falls in between, i gained 9 kgs through all my pregnancy, it was terrible for me, but every time i felt my baby move inside me, all that fear and sadness dissapeared, i started to think that no matter what, if i was fat or skinny, my baby would loved me no matter what, cause my body nourished her, she lived through me the first months of her life... and now i have the healthiest chubbiest baby i would ever imagined, but i almost lost her, because of my eating disorders, becasue of my selfisshness, so my advice, is if you think you´re pregnant, go to a doctor inmediately, talk to your parents believe me, it isnt as bad as it sounds, my parents werent even angry, they were worried for me and my baby because of my eds. You wont regret it, but you will if you dont look for help.
Im still struggling but working hard every day to get all that in the past
Love ALX
