Abstrakt: The article examines whether schizophrenic mothers have increased risk for obstetric complications (OC) has practical relevance to fertility recommendations and obstetric surveillance for such women. Researchers' theoretical viewpoint concern the possible relationship between tension-anxiety and OC. Furthermore, they also assess whether the offspring have an increased risk for disturbance based at least partially upon an increased incidence of OC. Gathered evidence suggests a relationship or interaction between genetic factors contributed through family lineage and OC attending the gestation of genetically-high-risk offspring.
