A member asked:
What do you say to someone who has an eating disorder and is pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Here's what I'd say.: 1. They need to make sure that their obstetrician is aware of the severity of their eating disorder. 2. They need to put the mutual health of baby and mother above the desire to engage in eating disordered behaviors. 3. That they can discuss working with a nutritionist with their physician.
