In most cases getting pregnant is beneficial for eating disorders, with many commonly going into remission while the baby is growing. But binge eating, one of the most common eating disorders, has been found to actually get worse for some women during pregnancy -- especially for those with lower incomes.

This data comes from an enormous study of over 41,000 women in Norway, so the results are pretty scary. This urges all doctors and other pregnancy specialists to be aware of these risks when treating their patients, and the next step for researchers is to take a look at how these issues may affect the babies born to women with pregnancy-related binging disorders.

Have you experienced anything like this either yourself, or with a friend/someone in your family?
