Q: Need advice on a friend with pregorexia!!

I am 30 weeks pregnant. I have a friend who is now 10 weeks pregnant. I am so worried about her!!!!! She has always been very aware o how she looks and her weight. She is loosing weight!! She told me theother day that she is nauseos and fixes it by sticking her finger in her throat to throw up! She doesnt eat and when she does she shove her finger down her throat!!
Ive tried talking to her, another friend has talked to her, but she doesnt listen!! She is skin and bones. I am terrified of what she is doing to her baby and I/m out of ideas! Any advice on how to handle it??

she needs expert advice from a psychiatrist... just like anorexia nervosa,it is a psychiatrict problem that needs immediate intervention... esp in ur friend's case,she needs help as early as possible ... since it is a psychiatric prob,though she looks skin and bones,everytime she looks herself in front of a mirror,she can only see herself as fat and ugly as she hates... she needs therapy to cope up with body image issues... hope shell be better soon...
