Context:

  • Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a significant mental disorder predominantly affecting women of childbearing age.
  • While AN prevalence in pregnancy is low, there is a substantial risk of symptom exacerbation or relapse.
  • Pregnancy presents unique challenges for women with AN, impacting both maternal and fetal well-being.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the critical need for specialized perinatal care for pregnant individuals with anorexia nervosa.
  • To emphasize the importance of early detection and continuous monitoring throughout the perinatal period.
  • To advocate for a multidisciplinary approach in managing AN during pregnancy.
