Can women who had anorexia in the past still get pregnant?
It depends. Women who have fully recovered from
anorexia have a better chance of getting pregnant. While a woman has active
anorexia, she does not get her usual period and doesn't normally ovulate, so it
would be harder to get pregnant. However, she may get pregnant as she regains
weight because her reproductive system is getting back to normal. After they
gain back some weight, some women may skip or miss their periods, which can
cause problems getting pregnant. If this happens, a woman should see her
doctor.
Can anorexia hurt a baby when the mother is
pregnant?
If a woman with active anorexia gets
pregnant, the baby and mother can be affected. The baby is more likely to be
born at a low weight and born early. The mother is more likely to have a
miscarriage, deliver by C-section, and have depression after the baby is born.
