Скачать или смотреть Eating Disorders, Body Image and Pregnancy

For those who struggle with poor body image or eating disorders, pregnancy and parenthood are complicated topics that can raise some very deep questions: What are the medical issues surrounding eating disorders and pregnancy? How will I feel about my changing body? How will I cope with the focus on my diet and my weight during pregnancy and beyond? How can I model body confidence and healthy eating for my child? Claire Mysko (body image expert and co-author of Does This Pregnancy Make Me Look Fat?) and Lesley Williams, MD (Director of Primary Care and Nutrition, Remuda Ranch) offer concrete tools and strategies for creating a support system; choosing sensitive, educated prenatal and postpartum healthcare providers; engaging your partner and loved ones in supporting your healthy body image; looking critically at media messages glorifying “baby bumps” and “post-baby bodies”; understanding the common triggers of pregnancy and new parenthood; and getting a healthy perspective on pregnancy weight gain and postpartum weight loss.
