my best friend just found out she's pregnant, and she's battled an eating disorder for about 7 years now. she tends to starve herself when she gains a couple pounds, or makes herself throw up. she is soo obsessed with her weight, its rediculous. she even said she didnt want to have a "fat" baby...her cat had six kittens today, and she said, "i hope my cat dosent stay fat"....she cant even stand for her animals to be overweight! its driving me nuts! and i'm afraid, that the baby will be harmed from her eating disorder through her pregnancy, or that if she has a chunky baby that she will starve it, or that she will go nuts gaining weight through her pregnancy. what should i do? this is driving me crazy, i cant stand to hear her say "i dont want to have a fat baby" or "i hope i only gain ten pounds"....she's been to numerous doctors for her disorder, but nothing has helped....anybody been through this and can give me advice? thanks in advance!
