Your boyfriend has ADHD and you are pregnant can the baby be born with it?

There is evidence to suggest that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has a genetic component, meaning that having ADHD puts you at increased risk of having children with the disorder. However, having ADHD does not necessarily mean your child will also have it. Genetics are complex, and it is essential to consult with genetics.

If you want to know your and your baby's exact probabilities about inheriting ADHD please contact a Medical Specialist about having your genes sequenced.
