: From cdc.gov: Taking ADHD medicine in early pregnancy may be related to these birth defects: Gastroschisis Omphalocele Transverse limb deficiency Although this study found some increased risk for birth defects, it is important to remember that there’s a very low risk of having a baby born with these defects after taking ADHD medicine.
