Abstract
Three types of women were identified among interviewees; those that seemed to be 'cured' of their eating disorder through motherhood, those that seemed able to put their condition on hold during pregnancy and those that seemed unable to relinquish dangerous behaviours. Issues relating to control, identity and perfectionism may impede some women's ability to enjoy pregnancy and motherhood if they have an eating disorder history.
