International Journal of Eating Disorders Oct 02, 2021
Sollid C, Clausen L, Maimburg RD, et al. - Among women with at least a 6-month eating disorders (ED) remission before pregnancy, the incidence of perinatal ED relapse as well as obstetric and postpartum outcome were examined.
A prospective longitudinal study of a total of 122 women in stable remission before pregnancy.
Relapse occurred in 30 (25%) women.
In this study, it is specified for the first time that the majority of relapse occurred before 20 weeks of gestation, followed by the early postpartum period.
Women with ED relapse frequently experience severe postpartum depression symptoms (33%); frequent presence of hyperemesis gravidarum (30%) was observed independent of the woman's relapse status.
