              This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment") amends and
supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed on January 29, 1999, as amended by
Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on July 15, 1999 (as amended, the
"Schedule 13D"), with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share
(the "Common Stock"), of Matria Healthcare, Inc. (the "Issuer"). Only those
items which are hereby reported are amended. All other items remain unchanged.
Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined herein
shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 4.       PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The response set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended
and supplemented as follows:

         On July 9, 2001, Mark J. Gainor ("Mark Gainor") resigned from the
Issuer's board of directors.

ITEM 5.       INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         The response set forth in Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended
and supplemented as follows:

         Gainor Medical Management, LLC ("GMM") beneficially owned 1,555,555
shares of Common Stock (based on its ownership of (i) a warrant to purchase
1,000,000 shares of Issuer's Common Stock and (ii) 10,000 shares of Issuer's
Series A convertible preferred stock which were convertible into 555,555 shares
of Issuer's Common Stock) and 35,000 shares of Issuer's Series B redeemable
preferred stock. Pursuant to a privately negotiated Securities Purchase
Agreement (which is filed as Exhibit 7.4 hereto and is incorporated by reference
into this Item 5), dated May 10, 2001, among the Issuer, GMM, Mark Gainor and SZ
Investments, LLC, on June 29, 2001 and July 9, 2001, the Issuer repurchased from
GMM the 1,555,555 shares of its Common Stock (representing approximately 17.6%
of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock), the 35,000 shares of its Series B
redeemable preferred stock and the subordinated notes beneficially owned by GMM
(the "Securities") for an aggregate amount of approximately $59 million. GMM
sold its Series A convertible preferred stock and Series B redeemable preferred
stock for approximately $41 million. GMM sold the warrant for $3.37 million. GMM
sold the subordinated notes for approximately $14.9 million. As a result of the
repurchase of the Securities by the Issuer, GMM, Mark Gainor and the successor
in interest to Gainor Medical U.S.A. Inc. will no longer file reports pursuant
to Rule 13d; however, Mark Gainor, in his individual capacity, will continue to
beneficially own 1,042 shares of Common Stock subject to purchase upon the
exercise of options he was granted during his tenure as a member of the Issuer's
board of directors.

ITEM 7.       MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

         The response set forth in Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended
and supplemented as follows:

7.4      **       Securities Purchase Agreement, dated May 10, 2001, among
