Anyone dealt with an eating disorder/body dysphormia while pregnant?

Question

Struggling and only 10.5 weeks. Embarrassed for anyone including doctor to see my body

Answer

Definitely tell your dr about this please so it doesnt develop into something dangerous. I had an eating disorder in high school and early college years, and was always scared what i would do when/if i got pregnant. Years later, my mind is now better and i love my pregnant body so far at 18 weeks.

Answer

I had an eating disorder and still struggle with body dismorphia. I had to gain weight to get my period back to get pregnant so I was already uncomfortable with that and now it’s obviously going up as I’m halfway. Just try to remember that this season of life is about having the healthiest baby possible and I remind myself that I want my baby to see me as a woman who doesn’t hate my body. I want to be the best example I can. It’s a miracle I got pregnant after no period for 2 years so even tho it’s hard we gotta push through! You got this!!

Answer

Yes. I have body dysmorphia,  and past eating disorder. I'm currently 9 weeks pregnant and I'm struggling with my self image. Ive already gained a few pounds. My last pregnancy I counted calories to make sure I was eating enough to gain weight( worked for me). But I know how you feel. I would bring it up with your doctor, maybe they can help. But you are not alone. I hope you start feeling better.
