Ladies I have a very important question for you guys! Since 14 years old I've battled bulimia and still am. I have some mental issues sometimes because I feel fat not pregnant you know? I don't really feel sexy or beautiful anymore. Don't get me wrong I love my baby and am very excited it's just difficult to keep in my head that I'm not fat just a baby's growing inside of me. Any suggestions on what I can do to make these thoughts go away?
bunny I'm sorry. my heart goes out to you. just know your body is beautiful, and even more so now bc your caring your child. keep your chin up💕
@brittneilynn21, I know being bulimic actually increases your chances of having miscarriages and I've had one before so I'm nervous. I try hard not to think about it. I don't weigh myself nor do I take baby bump pics for that reason. Thank you for the advice! Very helpful!
I would definitely inform your doctor. They could direct you to a support group. Best of luck you are beautiful
maybe educating yourself more about birth and pregnancy and reading books on how to stay healthy and whats normal during this time. perhaps hearing and seeing this stuff will help you replace thoughts of a superficial image. also, we had a loss last time so I stayed clear of reading any stories or things about miscarriage or preterm labor. I know the symptoms or signs but I don't keep looking at stuff like that because I want to think positive thoughts. baby bump photos may not be good for you to dwell on right now. every woman is different and different pregnancies can make you can make you carry differently. I didn't even weigh myself this time. I just have focused on eating well for me and baby and I am in tune with my body so I know what I've gained is a healthy amount. I hope all of this helps. I've never had bulimia but I know what it's like to have negative thoughts bother you sometimes. xo!
@miss.beautiful, thank you ☺️
