Good luck, and I hear where you're coming from . I had body issues since about 17 years ago....I don't really have any advice, apart from what the others said, but what I will say is that I found (and this is just me, but it could help you) I lost weight after both bubs, so that each time I have been lighter than before I got pregga's. I wouldn't put this down to breastfeeding, as I stopped that 6 months ago and haven't put on weight since, but I'd say its the running around after bubs, getting up at night, and eating correctly! The BF prob helped at the beginning to get the initial weight off.
So just hang in there, enjoy the pregnancy and spoiling yourself, and know that afterwards you will lose the weight if you eat properly and chase bubs around!!!And I hope you find some support to help you through the pregnancy when you have depressing thoughts about the weight gain. Im sure you'll find alot of help on BB. xoxoxo
Nonie, I read that starving yourself or self induced vomiting can stop you from having kids. This really woke me up when I was younger. I know that switch can sometimes be hard to avoid turning on, but I really think that you will know what is best for your bubs and put him/her first always, you sound like a really caring person, if not you wouldn't be concerned at all. I have known women to avoid eating during pregnancy to stop themselves gaining weight, but they would never have thought twice about it, they are really selfish people to begin with. You on the other hand sound little a very kind and concerned mother-to-be who only wants the best for her bubs.
I think Krysal had a good idea advising the hospital about your past, then you know you will have support, it might make you feel better too talking about it.
Good luck girl, I'm sure you'll do whats best for bubs.
