Objective This study examined women who had babies during 5 year follow‐up after having been treated for bulimia nervosa. Methods One hundred twenty‐five heterosexual women participated in a randomized controlled trial that evaluated cognitive‐behavior therapy. They attended at least one follow‐up assessment over 5 years of follow‐up. Results Poor functioning following treatment for bulimia nervosa, in combination with demographic variables, was strongly predictive of not conceiving a baby. Discussion Women with bulimia nervosa who wish to have a baby should be encouraged and supported to gain whatever benefit they can from treatment. © 2003 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
