Hi, I suffered bulimia from age 12 until i actually got pregnant when I was 19. I stopped during my pregnancy. My daughter is almost 4 now. I also have a 3 month old daughter. so yes. if you have a past of bulimia it is still possible to become pregnant
no but it will make your child skinny or not be able to live inside you because if you dont eat enough the baby will die inside your stomach :(
Bulimia in general causes malnutrition, gastric distress, potential dental problems, and dehydration. It is never good for a pregnant mother to be sick. If a mother has bulimia while pregnant is had difficulty eating food drinking water, and keeping that food and water in their body, then that can be dangerous for the mother and the baby. Babies get their nutrition and water from their mother, so if the mother is hungry and needs water, the baby will also become hungry and need water. Since the baby is growing, it is very important for the baby to have food and water from inside the mother. Sometimes doctors will have mothers spend time on bed rest or even give them intravenous therapy (IV) to get water into their body through the veins.
