I had the flu and a high fever when I was pregnant with my older son. He's the only one of my kids who turned out to be bipolar. I don't know that there's a connection between the two, but he certainly inherited some bad genes because I'm bipolar and I'm very sure my mother was as well. It'll be interesting to see how the long-term studies on this topic turn out.
