  "abstract": "Objectives\n\nDisordered eating (DE) can be particularly concerning during pregnancy, as it is associated with various obstetric complications. Findings on DE variations during pregnancy have yet to be systematically synthesized. This review seeks to summarize research on DE change across pregnancy.\n\nMethods\n\nFour databases were searched using PRISMA Scoping Review and Cochrane Rapid Reviews guidelines. Eligible studies were longitudinal and assessed DE, including eating disorder (ED) symptoms (e.g., dieting, purging) and related forms of DE (e.g., emotional eating), more than once during pregnancy.\n\nResults\n\nThe review included 19 articles. Though many forms of DE decreased across pregnancy, some forms of DE did not change, while some forms of DE had conflicting or unclear patterns. Body image constructs were the most examined forms of DE in pregnancy, followed by weight and dieting constructs. Research comparing DE patterns in people with versus without EDs was scarce.\n\nConclusions\n\nFew studies have examined DE across pregnancy using ED samples, and several DE symptoms had conflicting or unclear patterns across pregnancy. Moreover, some DE outcomes (e.g., quality of life related to EDs, guilt related to overeating, susceptibility to hunger) and the comparison of DE patterns in samples with versus without EDs remain underexplored in pregnancy.",
