Psychiatr Pol. 2023 Dec 31;57(6):1181-1194. doi: 10.12740/PP/OnlineFirst/150421.

This is because eating behaviors, the fetal programming process, and behavioral-cognitive relationships all contribute to shaping intrauterine conditions. Dysfunction at the neural level predisposes to a disturbed relationship with food, reduced self-acceptance, perinatal depression, and a negative perception of body image. The health consequences of reduced ene...
