Adderall is a medication used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is a central nervous system stimulant that affects chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control.

  1. Increased heart rate and blood pressure: Adderall can increase your heart rate and blood pressure, which can be dangerous for you and your baby.

 

  1. Dehydration: Adderall can cause dehydration, which can lead to serious complications during pregnancy.

 

  1. Birth defects: There is a potential for Adderall to cause birth defects, so it is important to speak with your doctor about the risks before taking this medication during pregnancy.

4. Preterm labor: Adderall has been linked to an increased risk of preterm labor, so it is important to speak with your doctor if you are considering taking this Adderall during pregnancy.
