New research has shown that women with ADHD experience more physical complications during their pregnancy and childbirth, and experience more mental health difficulties during the first year postpartum than neurotypical women. However, there is no research seeking to understand how or why women with ADHD have these experiences, coming from their perspectives.
That's why researchers at University College Dublin are conducting interviews to understand the lived experience of pregnancy, childbirth, and the first year postpartum to develop tailored support for women with ADHD.
