So instead of pushing ourselves to exhaustion, let's talk about what to do instead.

In this video, I speak about my personal experience with pregnancy, including medical decisions that I made in collaboration with my doctors. If you have specific questions about ADHD and pregnancy, please consult with your doctor.
The ADHD And Pregnancy Workbook (Notion template) was developed by Dusty Chipura in conjunction with Alix Bacon, registered midwife and president of the Canadian Association of Midwives.

Turns out there are several non-alcoholic beers that are rich in folic acid, but the one Dusty mentions in the video is Erdinger. It is often promoted as being a “healthy alcohol free beer” not just because of its folic acid content, but also due to its B12 and polyphenol count. In fact, in Germany, it is apparently touted as a post workout drink.

With it being such a long live stream... we wanted to cut it down to some of the information we thought was important to highlight!
Anxiety erases memories of success and causes the anxiety to continue growing. - Anxiety is experienced cognitively, physically, and emotionally. - Anxiety involves the physiological brain, emotional brain, and thinking brain. - When anxiety is triggered, the amygdala takes over and the thinking brain becomes less active.
There are two types of worries that lead to anxiety: motivating worry about doing things and poisonous worry about things you can't control. - We can't eliminate anxiety, but we can learn how to turn down the volume on the worry. - Identifying bodily signals that indicate feeling triggered is important in managing anxiety.
To manage tendencies and feel more at ease in social situations, try slowing down, focusing on one thing at a time, and using a humorous phrase to laugh at impulsive actions. - Slowing down and making deliberate choices can help ease anxiety in social situations. - Focusing on one thing at a time can help reduce overwhelm. - Using a humorous phrase to laugh at impulsive actions can help relax others and make you feel better about yourself.
Making a list of things that make you feel better can help manage anxiety and ADHD symptoms. - Some examples of activities that can make you feel better include exercise, going outside, listening to music, reading a book, petting a cat, or having a cup of tea. - Planning ahead by making a list can be helpful because anxiety can make it difficult to think of coping strategies in the moment. - Instead of getting angry at what is causing anxiety, it is important to recognize the anxiety and practice self-soothing activities, such as holding a cup of hot tea.
Making mistakes is common for individuals with ADHD, and it can be a result of past negative experiences or fear of failure. - People with ADHD may have been humiliated or excluded for their mistakes as children. - Anxiety and panic can lead to last-minute completion of tasks for individuals with ADHD. - It is important to remember that everyone makes mistakes and to treat oneself with understanding and perspective. - Keeping a journal and focusing on the positive aspects of each day can help shift away from catastrophizing thinking.
Keep a pad of paper next to your bed to do a brain dump or create a “Worry Motel” to write down your worries. - Younger kids can decorate a shoe box, write their worries down on pieces of paper, and put them in the shoe box. - Adults can get worries out of their head and decide in the morning which ones to address. - When catastrophizing, engage in a "what if" process to understand the underlying fear. - Address the fear of not being able to manage a situation or pull through, rather than getting caught up in clutter.
Finding the right medication dose for ADHD and anxiety can be challenging, as it requires trial and error. - Some medications that help manage ADHD are not ideal for anxiety. - The medication process can be frustrating and many people give up due to the difficulties in finding the right medication and dosage. - But for people who find the right medication balance, it’s worth the effort.
