 I know you do worry about her, and that is normal, but just make sure you are not obsessively worrying... She is pregnant and her body, emotions, feelings are changing drastically. She may not want to be as active right now and if that is what she is choosing that is ok...

When you say she doesn't eat that well, do you mean, she is not eating or she is just not eating healthy?

I don't think you're getting it, Willard. Here, in the above quote, you are still saying it is her fault for not forgiving you. Do you accept any blame at all for the situation?

 I was trying to get her to eat better before this. She is not a big fan of fruits and veggies. She was sick a lot and thought about improving her nutrition. She took it as being fat which she wasn't and went to a 300-600 cal/day diet. We argued about that. When she became pregnant, she still wasn't getting the right foods or was throwing it up.

 I have apologized for my initial reaction many times and accepted fault. I was just answering Mariels question. Maybe just bad phrasing.

 Willard......stop already........I have a feeling that anything you say at this point is going to piss her off and she will do the exact opposite. The fetus is a mighty strong little buger, it is going to take from her whatever nutients it needs. Just back off for a while....girlfriend will come around if you just love her and stop trying to be her conscience.

 So has she been battling with eating disorders as well? I know you are concerned about her having eating disorders while being pregnant - That is very serious....

I am sorry for what you are going through...

You have done everything you can in this situation. Just pray for her, take care of yourself, and be there when she needs you.

 Stop with the apologies now, Willard. At this point I think they are probably just 3 words. They may even be enraging her.

 Hi willard,

Welcome to the group. I have 4 kids, and was crazy with each one of them. I had my ex tell me I should go to a home when,I told him, I was pregnant. I still remember that after 11 yrs.

My 3 rd pregnancy, I went into a depression and stopped eating. I eventually caught it and started taking care of myself.

Also, if he had morning sickness than food might have not been very appealing to her. She also might be craving certain things, and can't handle other things. I hated broccoli. I usually love it.

She can take certain meds when she is pregnant. If she starts having a really hard time with he bipolar she could consider going to the doctor, and checking it out.

God Bless,Gypsy

 Hey Willard, welcome to the group, I am sorry to hear that you are having a hard time, and that your girlfriend is having such a rough time, do you know where she is staying? or who her doctor is that is caring for her during the pregnancy? if you know who her doctor is, you can let them know about her eating habits. and if you know where she is staying, you could always send her some Roses, and let her know you are thinking of her.. otherwise, for the time being giving her, her space is in your best interest..
