i wouldn't recommed having a baby when you aren't eating. it can seriously hurt the baby if it doesn't get enough nutrience and you would probably have a miscarriage.

Agreed. It's not healthy for the baby. It needs nutrients to grow. You need to take care of your body before bringing another innocent baby into the world. Maybe talk to a dietitian and if you are pregnant, they can help you start eating properly. Good luck. You can PM me if you have any questions.

In answer to your question--yes, it's absolutely possible. It's always important to use a condom or other pregnancy/STI prevention methods. I would talk with a doctor about being sexually active, and contraceptive methods. Additionally, I'd really encourage you to talk with a doc about your ED--help is out there! <3

Hey there,
Yes, it is possible. When I was in Eating Disorder treatment there was a girl there that was pregnant. She actually entered treatment in hopes of helping the baby grow and be healthy.
If you think you might be pregnant I think that you should consider going to your doctor and talking to him/her and possibly getting a pregnancy test and all that. I also think you should consider talking to your doctor about your issues with food. It will be hard but it might help you quite a bit.
Hang in there and if you need anything do not hesitate to pm me.

Anytime you engage in intercourse there is a chance you can get pregnant, which is why I encourage you to use protection on the future. If you think you could be pregnant, see your doctor. I have a friend who is pregnant, and who had an eating disorder, her pregnancy is very difficult because of it. You have to eat when you are pregnant, otherwise it will kill the baby, and it will endanger you. Go talk to your doctor, even if you are not pregnant, they can help you.
