How does pregnancy affect a bulimic woman?

We find most women with bulimia are very contentious during the pregnancy. Actually the first trimester can be difficult as it often is in pregnancy with nausea and vomiting, and odd food choices and so on. The second or third trimester actually bulimic symptoms will go down, they decline, and occasionally we'll find the patient that gains an excessive amount of weight during pregnancy. But mentally there is less disturbance during the pregnancy. After the birth of the child, however, the eating disorder symptoms often resume and then they can affect breastfeeding and affect other things.
