It's not ridiculous. Bulemia is a serious and all too prevalent eating disorder. It can have serious ramifications for a pregnancy. Women with eating disorders in general, and bulemia specifically, are at increased risk for miscarriage, hyperemesis gravidarum (intractable vomiting causing dehydration and requiring hospitalization), and, perhaps most important, growth retardation of the baby. I strongly suggest you seek help for this throughout pregnancy. Regular counseling with someone with expertise in managing eating disorders will help you stay in control and keep your baby's health as your highest priority. The good news is, I have recently read a study that said that some women with eating disorders often do very well with pregnancy, i.e., their bulemia goes into remission. It sounds like this applies to you up to this point. Do all you can to stay on top of it!
