The fact of the matter is that from a nutritional point of view, far too many pregnant patient’s eat too much of the wrong things and do not exercise. This is a recipe for far greater public health problems than Pregorexia could ever become.

Certainly there are individuals with eating disorders for whom professional intervention will be necessary, but, it would appear that the hoopla regarding pregorexia is mis-placed and that we as a society should focus far more energy and attention on improving nutrition for the vast majority of pregnant patients.
