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.james
