It's good that you recognize the need for extra support during this time. Your baby needs the nutrition to develop and grow. I'm sure you know that you need it for your health as well.

Have you talked with your boyfriend about the importance of eating, especially now?

Beauty is on the inside, not the outside. Some of the most beautiful people I've met are because they radiate love and compassion. Try not to rate your beauty on appearance, but look deep inside of you and see your beauty there.

You are right; you need to protect your child from your illness, and you can't do this on your own.

I recommend you go to see your doctor and ask for help. I am sure that will help; but don't take any chances with your baby, or with yourself. You are both too precious to lose.

Try to think of your baby. Holding your own child in your arms is the greatest joy there is in this world; by not eating you risk your own health and that of your baby. By eating you protect it, and help it to grow. Every one has to eat; if you want to control something, then read up on healthy eating, and control what you eat; make sure it is nutritious and full of good things.

I am not sure why your boyfriend does not want you to eat; is he anorexic as well? Either way, you both need counselling about how to protect your unborn child, and how to eat properly during pregnancy.
