How pregnancy can trigger an eating disorder

A focus on regimented eating, rapid body changes and tracking weight are all signs of a potential eating disorder but also what you do during pregnancy. Research shows it is more common than you might think with 1 in 20 people experience an eating disorder during pregnancy. The signs can easily be missed by practitioners and experts are saying more should be done to bring awareness to the issue.If you need help or support for an eating disorder or body image issue, please call the Butterfly National Helpline on 1800 ED HOPE (1800 334 673).You can also contact the PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia) Helpline on 1300 726 306.
