“…Additional 57 articles were found ineligible during full-text screening: 19 did not report weight outcomes, 16 did not investigate eating behavior, 12 were conference abstracts, three studied eating behavior and weight, but did not report associations between them, two were not conducted during pregnancy or first year postpartum, two were study protocols, and one was not full-text available in English. Furthermore, two studies were excluded because their results were already presented in other articles; the study that presented the most comprehensive outcome data was included in this review (Laraia et al 50 was excluded, data presented by Mumford et al 51 ; Orloff et al 52 was excluded, data presented by Blau et al 43 ).…”

“…38 The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) comprises restrained eating, emotional eating, and external eating subscales 49 and was fully or partially used by three studies. 42,43,47 The Revised Restraint Scale (RRS) was used by three studies that adapted the wordings of the questionnaire in order to inquire retrospectively about restrained eating prior to pregnancy. 46,51,54 The Food Craving Inventory 31 was used by two studies.…”

“…Fourteen out of 20 studies used self-reported prepregnancy weight, and some also used self-reported pregnancy weight. 42,43,46 Using self-reported prepregnancy weight might introduce considerable bias in the study findings, since prepregnancy weight is used to calculate both the prepregnancy BMI, on which IOM guidelines for recommended GWG are based, as well as GWG. Only three studies measured baseline weight 35,39,41 and three studies retrieved weight from the medical record, 38,48,58 although two of the latter used self-reported weight in case no measured weight was available in the medical record.…”

“…Four of these showed associations between higher restrained eating and increased GWG; 33,46,51,54 the remaining seven studies did not find associations. 37,38,[40][41][42][43]47 Mumford et al used the Revised Restraint Scale (RRS) and divided their sample in restrained and nonrestrained eating based on the median of RRS scores. They found that women high in restrained eating with normal weight, overweight, and obesity had on average a 2.2 kg higher GWG compared to women low in restrained eating of the same BMI groups (significant for normal weight, p < .001, and obesity, p = .03).…”

Summary Preventing obesity is of utmost public health importance. This paper systematically reviews associations between eating behaviors and peripartum weight change. This knowledge is crucial in the development of interventions that reduce long‐term obesity, often triggered and boosted in the peripartum. Through MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science, we identified 20 studies that fulfilled inclusion criteria: studies on food cravings, disinhibition, restrained, external, emotional, uncontrolled, intuitive, or mindful eating in relation to gestational or postpartum weight among adult women. Higher gestational weight gain was associated with lower intuitive eating (in 3/3 studies) and higher restrained eating (in 4/11 studies), external eating (in 2/2 studies), emotional eating (in 3/4 studies), food cravings (in 3/3 studies), and disinhibition (in 1/3 studies). No association with uncontrolled eating was found (in one study). No studies on mindful eating and gestational weight were identified. Higher postpartum weight loss was associated with higher restrained (in 2/4 studies) and intuitive eating (in 1/1 study). No associations between postpartum weight and food cravings, disinhibition, and mindful eating were found. No studies on external, emotional and uncontrolled eating, and postpartum weight were identified. Concluding, certain eating behaviors might be related to peripartum weight change.

Objective: Gestational weight gain (GWG) above or below recommendations is common and has implications for parent and infant health. Bulimia nervosa and bingeeating disorder during pregnancy have been associated with higher GWG. Yet, little research has examined the associations between binge-spectrum symptoms and GWG. Likewise, few interventions exist to adequately prevent GWG. The current study investigated a broad range of predictors of GWG, with the goal of identifying potentially modifiable risk factors. Method: We conducted secondary data analyses of a subsample of individuals from the Alberta Pregnancy Outcome and Nutrition (APrON) longitudinal cohort study. Multinomial logistic regression estimated the odds of gestational weight gain (GWG) outside of Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations and linear regression was used to examine total GWG continuously.Results: Of the 1644 participants included, 848 (51.6%) exceeded the IOM's guidelines for GWG, and 272 (16.5%) gained below these recommendations. Bingespectrum symptom symptomatology during pregnancy was not associated with exceeding GWG recommendations after accounting for post-secondary education, identifying as European Canadian, and higher pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI).However, greater self-reported binge-spectrum symptomatology during pregnancy was associated with higher total GWG after accounting for age, parity, and prepregnancy BMI.Conclusions: In addition to replicating identified predictors of higher GWG, we found that greater binge-spectrum symptomatology was associated with higher total GWG. These findings suggest that routine screening for eating pathology during pregnancy may identify those at risk for excess GWG.
