2. Pregorexia
Extreme dieting and exercising while pregnant to avoid the traditional weight gain that comes along with pregnancy.
Doctors recommend that the healthy amount of weight a woman should gain during pregnancy is 25 to 35 pounds. Fear of this can lead to various complications for both the mother to be and new baby. Pregorexics run the risk for depression, anemia, and hypertension, while the malnourished babies are often miscarried or born with birth defects.
