How I Navigated the Postpartum Period While Recovering From an Eating Disorder

I’m so grateful and honored to share my story with “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.” I’ve written a lot about my pregnancy experience, but I felt it was particularly important to share about the postpartum period. For me, becoming a new mom and experiencing all the physical and emotional changes that come postpartum was much harder than I was anticipating. After recovering from anorexia nervosa, I found my post-pregnancy body brought up new challenges and thoughts. I also had more anxiety and fear crop up.
