Does Excess Eating Cause Any Harm During Pregnancy?
I just found out I am 7 weeks pregnant, however I have an eating disorder and have taken laxatives almost every day for at least the last month. I had stopped taking them for awhile and started again when I started getting pregnancy cravings and eating more. At the time I didn t know that s what it was. Now that I know I am pregnant I am trying to stop, but did I ruin my chances of having a healthy baby?
