Hi!
I also have ADD and just got diagnosed with it 3 days ago. I thought i had it for quite some time because i had all the inattentive symtoms of lack of focus and concentration as well as daydreaming a lot, losing things constantly, forgetting things, distractibility etc. I would say get on medication but with being pregnant you might have to wait awhile. You could go see a doctor though and ask if there are any medications you can use while pregnant that are safe. I hope you find a good doctor because trust me, I didnt like mine really at all. She was too much in a hurry to actually really talk to me much and listen. I did tell her everything i had though and was properly diagnosed but she just wasnt a good doctor so hopefully you find a better one!! your nephew really should be put on ridalyn or something to calm him down. It will help a lot! ridalin is the best one I think for kids. You could always drink caffeine if you can't take any medication. It helps make people focus a lot better! its amazing! Coffee or soda or whatever....just a thought. Anyway, hope I have helped some!! I'm no expert, just trying to think of good ideas for you!
