Anorexia and other eating disorders or health disorders that affect nutrition are extremely damaging to a developing foetus, and can cause serious problems. When the mother's body is deprived of nutrition (no matter how many "vitamins" they take, anorexics are universally nutrition deficient), the foetus is as well.
However... the body is designed to protect a baby at all costs. This is why populations experiencing famine continue to have high birth rates. The mother's body burns up all its resources, however limited they may be, to sustain the life of the foetus.
Being anorexic, in and of itself, will probably not cause you to miscarry, but it could be doing SERIOUS harm to the baby. Developmental and physical problems are very real possibilities for a malnourished baby, as well as pre-term labour and subsequent premature delivery, which also carry risks to the child for dev. problems and physical ailments. It also poses an increased risk to an already extremely unhealthy mother, if she is anorexic.
If you're struggling with pregnancy, unwanted pregnancy, or anorexia, PLEASE get help before you do any more damage to the foetus or to yourself.
