Pregnancy in bulimic women.
Four primiparous bulimic women were interviewed. Pregnancy outcome was not affected adversely by bulimia. Gestational age ranged from 37-41 weeks, and average infant birth weight was 3121 g. Maternal weight gain averaged 40 lb. Bulimic behaviors decreased during pregnancy, but returned to prepregnant levels after delivery in three of the four women.
