When a woman learns she is pregnant, it's recommended that she discontinue ADHD medication until after her baby is born. But what about the times when some women need to stay on medication through pregnancy?

Read "I’m Pregnant. Should I Still Take My Meds?" at bit.ly/nrcpregnantmeds . What was your experience or your partner's experience with ADHD while expecting a baby?
