Pregnancy can be a challenging time for any pregnant person, but for someone who suffers with an eating disorder it can be a particularly difficult and potentially triggering experience. I chat to birth worker Charlotte Mindel about how various eating disorders such as bulimia, anorexia and compulsive overeating can affect a pregnant person, the considerations midwives and doctors should be making, and where to find support. Charlotte is a mother, birth coach, and motherhood coach. She supports women in accessing peace, connection, self-love, self-trust, and the opportunity to choose the birth and motherhood experience they want for themselves. She is 8 years into Bulimia recovery after roughly 16 years of disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and exercise addiction. The inner work she has done to access the serenity she lives within today forms the foundation of her work with women. You can contact any of the following if you are experiencing difficulties with eating disorders:
