For those with children with ADHD - How was your labour?

[Astrolady]

Lach has ADD and he is the only child I had issues in labour with. I've often wondered the same thing, if labour had anything to do with it. But I do possibly think Andrew might have been in the category if it was more well known back then.

Thanks guys . Yes, I do believe ADHD can be genetic too. My DH makes me wonder sometimes, he and DS1 are like the same person lol!

There is some research to show there may be a link between the use of syntocinon during labour and ADHD/ADD. I'm sure it's a multi-faceted thing, though, as with so many other things. There's not much point worrying about it now! But it may be useful information for another mother thinking about induction/augmentation of labour, particularly if there's already a family history.
