Pregnancy and adhd

Hi! Has anyone else noticed their symptoms have gotten worse when pregnant? I just can't focus or start a new task, even get from my breakfast table for like 30min after finishing a meal.. 😂 I feel like in the ultimate potato mode. 😂 I've read that usually the symptoms would decrease due to increased estrogen but I'm not feeling it. 😅

Oh yes! But I honestly think it got worse after my sin was born...probably the lack of sleep contributed to that...

I also text my husband that I’ll start an item at the exact time I want to start it instead of saying “in 5 mins” or “when I’m done with xyz”bc then I’m more likely to actually get up since that time is more concrete

Yes! I’m 32 weeks pregnant rn and it’s a struggle to get tasks done! I’ve had to gamify it x10 and/or text my husband my “Quest Items” bc “to do list” is too boring. He sends me “rewards” like a picture of a flower he saw at work or promise of compliments if I send him a photo of a completed item. It’s still a struggle but I’m allowing myself grace and calling it “pregnancy brain”
