This content is so important even for those of us who are not pregnant - there will likely be many points in our lives when we are sick or unable to have the foods we usually have etc. In those scenarios we must be strong and not allow the anorexia to sneak back in and for fears to reappear. Thank you Meg.

If you feel comfortable sharing it, I would love to hear you talk about how you first told Brendan about your eating disorder and how you talked about your relapse when you realised you needed help again. As someone who is hoping to be in a relationship when I am a bit healthier, it is something I have some anxiety around! Obviously I understand that that is a very personal thing, so completely understand if it's not something you want to share!

Wow Meg you never fail to astound me. You are smashing this despite all of the adversity. Pregnancy must be quite destabilising but you seem to be one step ahead of the game.... Not allowing the anorexia to work its way back in must be so tough when you're being sick, your body is changing, stupid comments from other people 🙄 and just the irrational thoughts anorexia throws at you!!!! It sounds like your pregnancy has been difficult so far but hopefully the rest of it will be much better for you!!!!! (bless you) so glad you have the support of your psychologist and dietician (and Brendan of course) as it must be really, really tough. So proud of you and am looking forward to seeing the journey of your pregnancy!!! Awww that scan is so adorable!!! Aww a little life, that is what this is all about. Not fears of food or body size. A baby, a little amazing life form who you have worked so hard for and created and now incubating, just take care of yourself and your little baby ❤️❤️❤️ Haha, I do remember your neat cupboard and packet opening obsession, especially when Brendan opened packets so messily so you had your own packets!! 😂😂😂 Awww you have come so far!! 😘😘😘😘

When Bren said “Makes my Heart ❤️Sore” Makes us all sore Meg..... Amazing you are, so much happiness for you all.... Never Ever Ever, Ever going Back, Ever Ever....!!!!!! 🤰🙎‍♂️😹😹🐶 😘

What?!?!?! How on earth can anyone call you fat?!? It seems crazy. These kind of comments are so grrrr! I returned to Bristol after a few months of making real progress with my weight and when I visited the green grocer the lady who I used to see me exclamed 'you look beefier'. This was the most triggering comment for me, due to my particular body paranoia (being stocky /masculine/having a strange, alien shape). I'm ashamed to say now that I was really distressed by her comment and i frustratingly was not far enough in my recovery to not let it send me back into a relapse. So regret all that hard work that was undone by my stupid fears and feelings. You're really helping me continue this time despite comments. I feel so much for you, it seems pregnancy invites even more things to throw you off course. You're doing so incredibly, you are beautiful. Bren melts my heart for his love for you and the baby. Love and yey for you, baby and Bren and bones!!!! Xxxxxx

You should have walked out of the salon if a worker called you fat. THAT IS MESSED UP.

Even though I am not pregnant, I would love a pregnancy pillow! 😍 It might just as well be an ED recovery pillow, right?! 😂

Ahhh Meg this is so helpful! Its something I worry about a lot so Ive already bookmarked this video for future reference🤰 Thank you for sharing this journey with us 💕 Your little bean is so lucky to have someone as insightful, empathetic and wise, with an absolute BUCKETLOAD of life experience to boot, as a mum.

The woman called you fat.. Why? Thats so mean like even if you think it, you don't have to say it out loud..

Haven’t even watched the video yet, but wanted to say thank you!! I started my recovery a year ago and your videos have helped SO much! I’m so excited for you and Bren to become parents!!

Meg, a fellow Meg here- I had extreme morning sickness ie all day nausea five months straight with each child (this was a while bsck!) including brief hospitalization for de hydration. I learned as u are the key was to keep eating , in my case very very frequent smsll snacks that went in cycles, but thin cheese n crackers n grapes helped at one point, at another, cereal bars, n with one pregnancy I found that a smsll McDonald’s hamburger was what the body wanted-- n I’d been vegetarian for fifteen years! Protein seemed to be settling, n salty stuff, n sweet anything was bad news (n I’ve always had a sweet tooth! ) my poor spouse:: I coukd smell water boiling, n got Ill.....stores , forget it: I coukd smell the spoiled whatever in the back of the display cases! My doctor brother said hyper smell in pregnancy would have been a survival thing back in the ancient days, a pregnant mom would know what not to eat. But it was a terrible trial.... that also eased up by third trimester. All to say, keep eating! You’re doing such a great job taking care of the baby body! That is bar none the most important thing you are doing : every thing else can slide! Lots of love to u n the growing family 💕

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us Meg 😍😘

Dear Meg, such a lovely, insightful video! I think you’re amazing. I found my two pregnancies hard-going at many points but also wonderful at the same time. I felt like my body was definitely in charge. It was very freeing. I hope the remainder of your pregnancy goes really well. You’re incredibly strong and you will be a fabulous mother. I’m so glad you have Bren’s love and support. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I think they’re very relevant at whatever stage of life. Self-care is so important. Sending you lots of love & hugs, D xx 🌻💕

I'm not even planning on trying for a baby for several years, but I'm curious to learn more about it in advance. You know, just so that I won't have to learn everything in a panic during those nine months. This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for. I just know that pregnancy will affect my recovery and the things you talk about in this video are things I'll keep in mind. Thank you. 😊❤

Wish I had you when I was having my children. I struggled throughout all three. You are providing a much needed voice to those in recovery who are at this stage. And I really related to the parts about feeling sick for reasons other than pregnancy...the flu is what really knocked me down a year ago and it amazed me how fast I went from pretty solid in my recovery journey to relapse. Thanks for sharing.

This is such important content because I too will be pregnant one day and be postpartum etc so it helps to see you as an example and how you manage dealing with these „changing times“. Giving me hope that I will be able to as well.

You give so many people hope. Thank you. So proud of you my love. X

aw congratulations!! really happy for you! 💕

What an amazing person 😢 You will be a great mom. I'm so sure about that

Wohoo! I’m so happy you’re pregnant 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’m sorry you’re feeling so sick 😞😞 I love that you’re documenting your pregnancy 😇

Your videos are truly inspiring and I wish you and your little family all the best!!

It's funny, but when I was pregnant, my ed essentially disappeared. I loved my basketball tummy and never worried a minute about gaining weight. It was a real blessing. I did relapse many years after I had children, but I still remember the freedom I felt being free of all eating disordered thoughts and actions while being pregnant. In fact, at one point, my doctor told me I was gaining too much weight in one month, and I just thought "Eh, who cares. I'm eating and I'm happy, and it will all even out." I wasn't affected at all by that comment! I hope and pray that as your pregnancy advances, you experience this same freedom, and that it lasts after the baby is born!!

Four months pregnant here, history of eating disorders. I’m glad I found your channel, this video really helps. Even you talking about how restricting a food because it makes you sick can lead to disordered thinking was like a wake up call for me, and I’m just going through in my head the foods I don’t eat now because of nausea and making sure that’s the only reason.

I don't want to inundate you with comments on every one of your videos, but I watch them every week and relate more than I can explain. I'm 49 with no kids and not disappointed I haven't had kids, but it's so amazing to me to learn that even in pregnancy, one can still have ED thoughts and must consciously remember to continue recovery; I'm sure I would too to be honest. And I can't tell you how much admiration I have for you as you continue to remind yourself and stay 'aware' all the time, especially now during pregnancy. "Awareness" is one of the most admirable qualities IMO. I nearly got tears in my eyes when you announced your pregnancy a few videos ago because of your special 'mantra'. You will be an amazing mother. And as long as you have ED videos to share, I will be watching. Thank you for your inspiration, always!

Thanks for sharing!💌😘😍 This is my FAVE video of you. You are so inspiring. Best for you and the baby

Loved this video. Such a bad day today and watching your video has been amazing xx

Oh gosh this video is so important! I was diagnosed anorexic at about 17 I think it was, and have had relapses on and off since then. I’m 23 just, and pregnant with my 2nd baby. With my first, I was lucky I escaped a relapse, but after birth I relapsed and became very skinny again. Second pregnancy, unfortunately my anorexia caused a loss. This pregnancy I’ve tried so hard everyday is a fight to keep your baby healthy by keeping yourself healthy and it gets so overlooked by doctors and professionals and everybody to be honest 🥺 x

When I was pregnant with my first child, I developed anorexia, and have since gone through another pregnancy while still having anorexia. This is a very important video, thanks for sharing.

😍😍😍😍😍 I’m so happy for you !

Im currently pregnant and have had a bad history with Bulimia and Anorexia. It’s hard to see my body change. I’m trying now for my baby but it’s really hard

Your hubby is super understanding and supportive. ❤️👍👍👍👍🤗

You're such a champion !!

You guys are so cute with the Advent Calendar. Loved Bren's idea to take it with you on holiday! :) You're doing great. Thanks for the update. Baby is so cute. Thanks for sharing with us. Does it feel weird to be sharing with strangers? :)

Thanks so much for sharing all this. Be well

This was a fantastic video!

You're so inspiring !!!

Proud of you!

Thank you so much for this.

Well I feel like a heel because I’d asked you about peanut butter a few weeks before the big announcement and now I understand!! (Mostly because I am still obsessed and was scared it would disappear from me and was nervous at the time that it had for you). You are doing so brilliantly- you and Bren are going to be in the best position to educate your darling little one in food and body confidence - which is something I am struggling with as I recover in front of my kiddos aged between 13 and 23.

Who would call you fat😵u are beautiful and u have achieved the exact thing im working towards🙌😍so happy for u

Are you willing to share your roasted cauliflower curry recipe Meg? Sounds amazing!

Beautiful baby 🌻

How did you respond to the nail tech? Did you educate her so she can respond better to the next person? Let her know that she shouldn’t comment on anyone’s weight because they could have a history of struggling with eating disorder(s) and finally have recovered and her comment trigger a relapse or they could be pregnant. We cannot do better if we don’t know better.

This isn't pregnancy related, but I was just wondering if you ever experience flashbacks from when you were really poorly and consumed by ED? I sometimes find myself thrown back to when I was really ill, and I then feel scared, guilty and sometimes even tempted back? I've never heard anyone talk about this before and am not sure if it's normal? Lots of love xx

Can u do a video on making food worth it. I have been struggling recently with only eating food so that I can go to school or if my day is really boring then I won’t eat. Don’t know what to do atm and it’s making me really depressed x

Love the book of mormon reference ;)

Congratulations 😊

When I see the prices in the restaurants where you go, it looks so expensive, everytime I am surprised but then I realise oh but it's just a different money in your country 😄. Anyway, I wish you a nice pregnancy and Im eager to see the next videos. 😘

On also could u do a video on looking at calories and fat and sugar and all that shit. And how u got over that more and I get so upset seeing my friends able 2 eat whatever they want without caring about calories or at least not knowing what they r on every1 single piece of food. I feel like I cannot get out of this cycle of picking the lowest calorie foods xx

I actually doubled my weight with my first pregnancy. For once I was eating to take care of another life, as I never have eaten or cared for myself. I ate foods that I've not allowed myself in years and went way huge overboard. Then I got unhealthy afterwards again to lose the weight quickly. Which I lost it super fast, but not in a good way. U seem to be in a much better place mentally and physically then I was. Take care and can't wait to meet the little one.

Im doing fertility treatment and im on my 3rd time of iui and i still vomits from time to time. I dont know of the medicine is the one causing me to increase my appetite and so i will binge and once i do its like my mind is on its own that you cant stop eating until you purge. Im afraid that if i get pregnant and i get pregnancy cravings this will continue to happen:(

How do you keep going when you feel like you just can’t anymore?? 😔

That's interesting, in Finland ginger is on the forbidden foods list for pregnant women.

if you had an eating disorder at age 15 can u still be pregnant later on ?

Hey you're last video got blocked? 😕

Kitties had a hair cut

Drinking alcohol was a huge fear of mine through recovery. If that was something you struggled with is reintroducing alcohol post baby something you are worried about? if you don’t mind me asking! :)

Hi, ı really scared gaining Weight because when ı tried ı really gaining so rapidly and it freaks me out. I know ı should gain and ı want it but how ı maintained it when ı reach my ideal weighy ıdk. Today ı am gonna try to give up measuring my weight for a week.(ı hope) with trying to gain weight. I am sooooo scared PLEASE HELP ME!!:))

Try eat thing have ginger . It might help. I hope you feel better.

I usually get so bored and annoyed by food pictures and videos on social media. It's occurring to me with you fronting the food clips here that maybe I find them annoying because I don't like to be reminded of food when I have ARFID. I guess I should start very deliberately looking at food now...

Aaah, the Book Of Mormons! share the same humor

You baby 👶🏼 is adorable. I think you guys are having boy?

Whaaaaaat, why would she call you fat? Where did this unsolicited comment come from?
