Often people with eating disorders will go into a form of remission while they are pregnant.

However researchers are now finding some women that are actually developing a binge-feeding eating disorder during pregnancy. And many of these women have never shown signs of an eating disorder before.

This story corresponds with recent news coverage indicating that pregnant women are overeating during pregnancy and that no one actually needs to “eat for two".

Women sometimes rationalize overeating by saying they’re eating to take care of their baby. But doctors say your baby makes it very clear what it needs, and it’s not a lot of food.

Any pregnant woman who is finding herself binging and feeling out of control with her eating should talk to her doctor.
