I read that pregnant women or those wanting to have children
should consult with their doctor before taking adderall.
why is this?

James here...

Does speed cross into the placenta or the in utero
blood supply of the child ? i would guess we don't know. I would think being on speed and carring a child would be a no no. In general pregnant women `or those wanting to become are asked to take as few meds a possible. Considering the complexities of neruology and the huge amount of development of a childs neurological system in the first trimester (?)adderal or any stim seems by common sence a no no. There seems a link beween stim abuse by the mother and developmental disabilities and although the levels of stim are much higher in abuse...why chance it ? The real question is can you do ok for 9 to 12 months on adderal vs possible effects on the unborn.
