More than 20 years ago, Maggie Baumann was struggling with anorexia while pregnant, a condition called “pregorexia.” Now 48 and living in Laguna Niguel, she’s a therapist who specializes in treating eating disorders.
When she was pregnant with her first daughter, Christine, she gained a healthy 33 pounds. But at the time, the weight felt foreign and unhealthy to her. “My first pregnancy I felt so out of control with my body changes…the stretching of my stomach, the increased size of my breasts…all those changes made me feel like I was losing myself and my identity of being ‘thin’ and in control of myself,” she said.
