I do not know about social services taking the children. I do know that you have to be careful with the medicine, and talk to your doctor. I know some medicines for Schizophrenia can harm the baby. So be careful.

I do not want to sound insensitive, but I would advise against it.

My mother has schizophrenia. And as it runs in the family, I got it. I have been struggeling since age 7.

Firstly, I had to grow up in a house that was not stable at all. My mother would snap and take it out on me. Secondly, my mother never discussed the illness with me. I discovered on my own by doing research on the pills she has been giving me and taking herself. It has been realy difficult for me to fit in to society due to this.

If you decide to have a child, please inform him/her early about the risks he/she may have and about your illness. It may be difficult, but will help alot.

Again sorry for sounding insensitive.
