Should I tell my new partner I am schizophrenic

My bf and I have been going out for a while. He is supportive and kind but I am worried he may not understand what I have been through. For someone uneducated who gets their knowledge through the media and Hollywood, it would be scary if someone tells them they have schizophrenia. I have learnt that. People think I am dangerous or a nutter or insecure if I tell them. I was scared when I was first diagnosed. I would have been scared if anyone told me they had it. My lack of knowledge about the illness surprises me today. I thought of a typical psychopath who is a stalker and dangerous and thought horrible thoughts about myself having it. Before I even knew what it was. My partner wants kids eventually. I am worried about the effects of medication on the unborn baby and know I could not manage without them. Please help.
