Abstract
A survey involving 530 pregnant women attending antenatal clinics at St. George's Hospital, London, shows that eating disorders are highlighed in pregnancy. Some 92.8% took questionnaires, of which 79.4% were returned suitable for analysis. As pregnancy is a time when women are under medical care, and are keen to ensure they have healthy offspring, it could be a suitable time for addressing the problem.
