Did my anorexia cause me to miscarriage?

I have suffered from anorexia for many years now but the other month I was lucky to find out I was pregnant. The doctors said they would be very suprised I I was able to have children, and amazingly I did. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night in a pool of blood. I lost my baby. I went to the hospital and they did what they did and then sent me home. They said that they can’t tell me why I miscarried and I need to talk to me own doctor, but I can’t get in for another 2 weeks. The doctor said he didn’t want to discus what happened in my state.

The other day I wittnessed my boyfriend have an overdose and I have been really stressed out. I have been trying my extreme hardest to be healthy and do this baby right, but I still lost it.

WAS IT MY FAULT? DID I KILL MY BABY? I want someone to give me their honest opinion ad stop treating my like a child. Please.

Answer #4

Many anorexic women also don’t have good reproductive health. One evidence is the lack of monthly period. This creates an imbalance in the nutrition needed by the embryo to survive its developmental stage. Yes, I’m sorry to say this but, in your case, there’s a big chance that the anorexia was the root cause of your miscarriage. But I don’t think it’s a wise thing to say that you “killed” the child. It’s not your fault.

Answer #5

anorexia can cause a misscariage, you need to be healthy to hve a baby, anoyone ith an eating disorder is likley tonot be able to provide the proper amount of nutrients for the hild to survive, also its likley you wont wan to eat more food and put on weight, staying skinny means that the baby can not develop and grow. its very likley your eating disorder killed the misscariage, get more help for your eating disorder, try to be healthy or even better, cured of your disorder before you ry for another baby, you need to be healthy to give it the best chance at life. i dont personally know how hard it would be to loose your child, but in your case i personally think its a second chance, at everything…to get your life on track first so you can have the baby you desire
