TV personality Hayley Pearce is pregnant with her first child and wondering how her “neurospicy” brain will handle all the demands of motherhood.
The 36-year-old, who shot to fame as the tea lady in BBC Three fly-on-the-wall series The Call Centre, was diagnosed with ADHD, external at 20.
“I have no concept of time… I’ve been sacked from jobs because I’m always late,” she said.
“I’m not an organised person… I’m overwhelmed all the time.”
She said her midwife had told her that her ADHD means she may be more likely to have postnatal depression than someone who is neurotypical.
Hayley hopes that by sharing her experience of ADHD it will start a conversation about how women like her can be better supported.
