I feel it is important to share this video, “Pregorexia”, about pregorexia because it is such a serious disorder. Pregorexia is when someone starves their body of necessary nutrients while they are pregnant. This is such a horrible disorder because it is not only detrimental to the women’s life, but to her unborn child as well. If a close friend of yours is showing signs of anorexia and they are thinking about or talking about wanting to have a child, consider having a serious conversation with them. Before talking to your loved one it is smart to consult a medical professional. That way they can explain the situation in terms that are more understandable as well as explain more about the type of eating disorder that may be affecting the individual. Having an eating disorder is something that will affect the individual for the rest of their life. This is a sad fact, but also important to remember because the individual with an eating disorder should talk to a specialist to fully understand their treatment options.
