During pregnancy, especially in the first months, the
complaints such as nausea and vomiting, anorexia, and disgust may be
inadequate, and the mother may not gain weight in the first 3 months or even
lose weight. After it is not too extreme and too low to leave the mother too
exhausted, there is no harm in it, it is a natural process that occurs during
most pregnancy. After the third month of pregnancy, these complaints and eating
will go away, mother and baby will start to gain weight.
The main subject to be mentioned in this article is the
psychological-based problem called eating disorder, which causes the person to
think as if his body's shape, dimensions and weight are too much to observe
constantly. In these diseases called eating disorders, the person avoids eating
too much, even if he / she does not have nausea, vomiting or any other stomach
problem and tries to weaken more by thinking that he is constantly fat even if
he is very weak. This is called anorexia nervosa. Therefore, anorexia nervosa
patients lose excess weight but still think they are overweight. In another
case, the person eats a normal amount or more than usual food, but immediately
afterwards vomit knowing that they ate not to gain weight, this is called
blumia.
Harms of
eating disorders during pregnancy:
The mother cannot gain enough weight or even lose excess
weight. This causes the baby to be at low weight compared to the week and to be
born with a low birth weight and preterm birth. In mothers with eating
disorders, dehydration (excessive dehydration of the body), extreme weakness,
fatigue, fainting, headache, heart rhythm disturbances, pregnancy depression,
postpartum depression, postpartum breastfeeding, preterm delivery can be seen.
In addition, it is difficult for women with eating disorders
to become pregnant due to irregular menstruation and irregular ovulation. The
risk of miscarriage is higher than normal in those who become pregnant.
Treatment:
In patients with an eating disorder, this situation must be
corrected before getting pregnant, so that they can start pregnancy at a normal
and healthy weight. With the help of an obstetrician, psychiatrist and
dietician, mothers who have an eating disorder and cannot be fed during
pregnancy, both psychological and medical support are provided. In addition to
psychiatric treatment, it is ensured that the expectant mother returns to her
normal weight and has enough vitamin mineral stores.
