National health guidelines ignore new mothers who have a history of eating disorders, says Ché Ramsden
At my 10-week booking appointment, the midwife told me that my history of anorexia meant I was more likely to get postnatal depression. She could see that I’d last been under psychiatric care less than a decade ago, two years after my last hospitalisation. She apologised that she had to note it down on my maternity records. She and I were both tangibly relieved the serious health issue being discussed had nothing to do with my baby. No one ever mentioned it to me again.
