Possible help: Try not taking Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) during your first trimester. If you can't function off this then you may try the lowest possible dose. That person should be on omega 3 fatty acids and prenatal asap. Omegas may help the fetus and may reduce the chances of having an adhd child.
