What's the latest research regarding prenatal flu in second trimester and infant schizophrenia? i'm 16 wks preg. and have the flu...trying to gauge real risk from daunting studies that suggest 14% of schizophrenia cases are due to prenatal flu.

Low Risk: The reported connection between the flu and schizophrenia is a controversial topic. However, keep in mind that the rate of schizophrenia is 0.5-1% of the general population. Even if 14% of cases are due to flu exposure during pregnancy, you are talking about a very low percentage of risk. Stay calm and stay focused on your overall health.
