[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My H has an adult DD from a previous marriage. I’m not very close with her (lives far away), but I know she’s had a lot of struggles with mental health.

She was just diagnosed as schizophrenic. H also told me he has a sister who is schizophrenic, which I did not know about.

I’m currently pregnant with our first child together and I’m freaking out a little. My family has its issues too, but schizophrenia seems like a pretty big deal. Honestly, had I know about this, I wouldn’t have gotten pregnant.

I’d like to ask my OB about it, but he comes to my appointments and I’m worried he’ll be offended if I bring it up.

I’m not totally sure what to do. There’s really nothing I can do, I suppose, but I’m terrified that my child will inherit this. [/quote]

Sorry, OP. Biology isn’t destiny even for schizophrenia. I did read that older parents have more risk of birthing future schizophrenics. But I wonder if older parents might just be more likely to detect it than younger ones.[/quote]
