i have recently found out im 7 weeks pregnant i have stopped purging since i found out 2 weeks ago. but before i found out i was purging at least 3-4 times not every day but if i over ate and felt too full i purged. has this affected my baby? and if i have stopped doing it now will i carry to term and will my baby be alive ?

Have you seen your doctor yet? I know it is uncomfortable to talk about, especially if you have not told anyone about your ED, but it is important. I had an eating disorder before I got pregnant. I ad been behavior free for about 8 months when I got pregnant and everything is going great. I am now 23 weeks. It has been the biggest motivation for me to stay healthy. I wish you the bet of luck. My advice would be to definitely be honest with your doctor. A lot of people throw up daily with morning sickness, so it probably has not causes harm at this point. But your baby needs nutrition to grow and be healthy.
