“…With respect to dietary behaviours, higher levels of body satisfaction are associated with decreased eating disorder behaviours during pregnancy (e.g., binge eating and purging; Crow et al, 2008). Furthermore, restrained eating at six months postpartum predicted body satisfaction at 12 months postpartum (Rallis, Skouteris, Wertheim, & Paxton, 2008).…”

“…Given that pregnancy is a unique period involving profound biopsychosocial changes, appropriate and effective perinatal interventions to improve physical and mental health are particularly important (Crow et al, 2008). Body satisfaction during pregnancy is associated with poor maternal and fetal health outcomes (Fuller-Tyskiewicz et al, 2012), and maintaining a healthy body image over time is a non-pharmacologic strategy that could offer protective effects against a range of adverse outcomes during pregnancy and in the postpartum period (Rauff & Symons Downs, 2011).…”

“…Several studies indicate that regular exercise and positive dietary behaviours are related to body satisfaction in pregnant women (Boscaglia, Skouteris, & Wertheim, 2003;Crow, Agras, Crosby, Halmi & Mitchell, 2008;Goodwin, Astbury, & McKeeken, 2000;Prather, Spitznagle, & Hunt, 2012). Repetition of health behaviours is particularly important, as it forms the basis of habits, which can be defined as "learned sequences of acts that have become automatic" (Verplanken & Aarts, 1999, p. 104).…”

Body satisfaction during pregnancy is an important determinant of maternal and fetal health outcomes. It is therefore critical to investigate factors related to changes in body satisfaction and to elucidate how body satisfaction changes over time in pregnant women.I examined the relation between two novel factors (i.e., healthy eating and physical activity habit strength) and body satisfaction in 67 pregnant North American women from the beginning of their second trimester (T1) until the end of pregnancy. Strength of healthy eating and physical activity habits remained stable over time, body satisfaction decreased over time, and healthy eating habit strength at T1 predicted increases in body satisfaction from the second trimester to the end of pregnancy, even when controlling for gestational weight gain. Results highlight how increasing health-related habit strength in women of reproductive age may offer protection against low levels of body satisfaction during pregnancy.

“…Estudos demonstraram que a gravidez pode, por um lado, agravar, manter, reduzir, despoletar recaídas, ou mesmo evitar comportamentos de risco em mulheres com história passada ou actual de perturbações do comportamento alimentar, ou precipitar ou manter afastadas destes comportamentos as mulheres sem sintomatologia (Blais et al, 2000;Crow, Agras, Crosby, Halmi, & Mitchell, 2008;Crow, Keel, Thuras, & Mitchell, 2004;Dunker, Alvarenga, & Alves, 2009;Edelstein, 2007;Hollifield & Hobdy, 1990;Lemberg & Phillips, 1989;Mitchell-Gieleghem et al, 2002;Newton & Chizawsky, 2006;Ramchandani & Whedon, 1988), podendo estas alterações ser permanentes ou transitórias (Blais et al, 2000;Newton & Chizawsky, 2006). Siega-Riz et al (2008) constataram que as mulheres com bulimia nervosa antes e durante a gravidez exibiam padrões dietéticos diferentes das grávidas sem perturbações do comportamento alimentar.…”

ResumoEsta revisão de literatura visa abordar os processos envolvidos nas perturbações do comportamento alimentar no período gravídico, nomeadamente no que respeita às vivências subjectivas das mulheres grávidas e dos seus companheiros. Apesar da escassez de estudos sobre a sua experiência neste período, sobretudo relativos às vivências dos intervenientes, é visível a variedade de respostas das grávidas que tiveram alguma perturbação do comportamento alimentar na sua história de vida. Para além da prevalência e dos riscos associados a estas perturbações para a grávida e para o bebé, analisa-se a precipitação, melhoria, manutenção ou agravamento de sintomas associados a estas perturbações e possíveis factores envolvidos. Aborda-se, finalmente, a importância na avaliação e intervenção dos técnicos de saúde. Palavras-chave: Perturbações alimentares, gravidez, casal, parentalidade. AbstractThis literature review aims at approaching the processes involved in eating disorders during pregnancy period, in particular regarding the subjective experiences of pregnant women and their partners. Despite the shortage of studies on their experience in this period, particularly concerning the experiences of stakeholders, there's a large variety of responses of pregnant women who had some eating disorder in their lives. In addition to the prevalence and risks associated to such disruptions for the women and their babies, we also analyze the precipitation, improvements, maintenance or worsening of symptoms related to eating disorders and other possible factors involved. It is also approached the importance of assessment and intervention on the part of health professionals. Keywords: Eating disorders, pregnancy, couple, parenthood.As perturbações do comportamento alimentar são psicopatologias que afectam sobretudo indivíduos do sexo feminino, maioritariamente jovens. Hoek e Hoeken (2003) estimam que, nos países desenvolvidos, uma em cada 100 mulheres serão diagnosticadas com uma perturbação do comportamento alimentar ao longo da sua vida, podendo aumentar até cinco vezes mais se se considerarem os sintomas que não preenchem todos os critérios de diagnós-tico (Newton & Chizawsky, 2006). Na maior parte dos casos, os indivíduos que procuram tratamento para uma perturbação do comportamento alimentar não preenchem então os critérios necessários para o diagnóstico de perturbações deste tipo, adoptando as perturbações do comportamento alimentar sem outra especificação o diagnós-tico mais comum nos estudos de prevalência (Machado, Machado, Gonçalves, & Hoek, 2007;Ward, 2008). Fairburn e Harrison (2003) apontam também a tendência para os pacientes passarem por mais do que uma categoria de diagnóstico ao longo da sua vida. Assim, alguns autores (Fairburn & Bohn, 2005;Fairburn & Harrison, 2003;Fairburn et al., 2007) referenciam a necessidade de questionar a validade das categorias diagnósticas actuais, com mais características em comum do que diferenciais.Com a revolução industrial e a evolução do século XX, o papel da mulher sofreu modificaç...

“…More specific effects are hard to discern as most researchers do not separate eating disorders by diagnosis. (2) The behavioural and cognitive symptoms of mothers with AN during pregnancy: overall behavioural symptoms seem to decrease somewhat during pregnancy, but return to pre-pregnancy levels post-partum (Blais et al, 2000;Crow, Agras, Crosby, Halmi & Mitchell, 2008;. In contrast, cognitive psychopathology remains elevated throughout pregnancy .…”

Background and aims:To explore the experience of pregnancy for women who have a history of anorexia nervosa (AN), in relation to the impact of AN on pregnancy, and pregnancy on AN. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six women with a history of AN. Data were analysed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis. Results: Four super-ordinate themes emerged: 'Effortful resistance of AN'; 'The unvalued self, valued other dialectic'; 'In new territory'; and 'Feeling distanced'. Conclusions: Various factors motivated the women to try and change their AN behaviours. This was achieved with varying degrees of success. Attempts to manage AN cognitions and emotions were less successful, and this aspect of their illness persisted. Whilst the baby was viewed as worthy of nurturance, the self was not. Pregnancy represented an unfamiliar experience, and was a time of relative isolation and lack of psychological support. Findings are discussed in the context of theory, research and practice.
