Sažetak
The psychological and physiological interaction between anorexia and the pregnant state has a large intrapartum and
postpartum impact on mother and baby. Current research has attempted to discern the short and long term effects of eating disorders
(EDs) on pregnancy as well as mother and baby-related sequelae; however little is understood about which management strategies
are likely to prove most successful in mitigating these risks. The incidence and effect of low pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) on
obstetric outcomes, and possible health complications in the future child, has attracted widespread attention. Especially concerning
is the fact that it has long been known that the incidence of EDs in women of childbearing age is not only the highest out of all age
categories but also is on an increasing trajectory.
This paper aims to highlight the recent evidence underpinning the management of pregnant women with EDs in the light of the
discussed short and long term effects of the disorders on mother and baby. We shall focus on those women who have a previous
diagnosis of an ED prior to being pregnant.
Particular attention will be paid to those studies considering anorexia nervosa. We argue for the use of early intervention
strategies for the management of pregnant women with eating disorders, and for the use of a multidisciplinary approach in the
treatment of these patients with complex problems.
