We report a case series of 23 patients, in whom the development of an eating disorder appears to have been precipitated by pregnancy, the disorder developing either during pregnancy or in the early post‐natal period. The clinical features of these patients are described and management implications discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and Eating Disorders Association.
