I took 1 x 30mg dose of adderall before i knew i was 5 wks pregnant. what's the risk? and do you believe that letting the guilt go & being positive helps the fetus? is a happy mental state evidenced to aid healthy pregnancies?

See your Dr/Be happy: A single dose may present minimal risk, but check with your OB/GYN to be sure. There are no studies of effect of this drug on human fetal development. Re your second issue: stress and anxiety are known to have negative effects on the baby. It is likely that letting go of guilt and anxiety, trying for a positive mental attitude will help you and your baby. Regular mild exercise will help also

Let it go: Yes, be positive, happy Mom should keep the fetus happy. So have no guilt, and be careful now. Best Wishes
