Model 1 = unadjusted model. Model 2 = adjusted for maternal education, relationship status, maternal ethnicity, and parity. Model 3 = adjusted for maternal education, relationship status, maternal ethnicity, parity, and partners reaction to pregnancy. Model 4 = adjusted for maternal education, relationship status, maternal ethnicity, parity, and maternal childhood sexual abuse. Prenatal = during pregnancy. Postnatal = birth to 8 months postnatal. Post‐perinatal = 8–33 months after delivery. Lifetime ED (no pregnancy weight and shape concern/symptoms) = self‐report of ED over the lifetime at 12 weeks gestation without high shape and weight concerns and/or compensatory behaviors. Lifetime ED (with pregnancy weight and shape concern/symptoms) = self‐report of ED over lifetime at 12 weeks gestation with marked shape and weight concerns and/or compensatory behaviors.
