Pregnancy and postpartum can be beautiful—and incredibly challenging—especially for those with a history of disordered eating or eating disorders.
Research shows this season is a high-risk time for relapse, with up to 1 in 5 birthing people experiencing disordered eating. Body changes, weight-focused care, and “bounce back” culture can bring up old patterns—even after years of healing.
If this is you: you are not weak. You are not failing. You are navigating a season that asks a lot of your body and heart.
Gentle reminders:
✨ You can ask for masked weights
✨ You deserve regular nourishment
✨ Curate your social media carefully
✨ Support makes a difference
Recovery is not linear. You deserve care, compassion, and community—at every stage of parenthood.
You don’t have to do this alone. 🤍
