Yes that is my new baby!! I want to do this for him and for my other child as well as my husband...He is very supportive of me going into rehab but I am uncertain as to when since My son is ony 2 weeks old.

Stormy, welcome back to this forum. Congrats on your new baby, he's adorable.

The question of rehab at this point and time... well, I think you have to ask yourself this question..... You waited 13 yrs. to decide to go..... would putting it off til your son was older change your mind about going into rehab? And, how long would you wait again to go...???

What a beautiful baby, Stormy. Welcome back!

((hugs))

And congratulations!!

Tough call. I think I'm in the minority in saying that you may want to wait a bit. Depending on how much credence you give the variety of attachment theories out there, it may make a difference to spend time with your son for the beginning weeks/months.

It may take some time to get into treatment anyway, so it could be less of an issue. I'd say to do some research about possible treatment options, and then go from there.

Thanks everyone..I am still up in the air...Sometimes it seems controlled and other times it doesn't . Did anybody else find themselves just stop eaing to avoid throwing up?

stormyautumn · 07-11-2007, 12:44 AM

I mean was there ever a point where you just got sick of it..I literally avoid eating more than one meal a day now just because I don't want to trigger my urge to purge

Were you throwing up during your pregnancy? I'm kind of with Ped on this one, I would at least try intense out patient first, and then consider my options.

But that's me, do what you think is best for yourself and your little one.
