Scary movies?!

So I heard from a friend that her doctor told her not to watch scary movies because if she gets scared enough her brain will release some kind of chemical that could cause her to miscarry.

I feel like this is total bull, but I could know nothing... What do y'all think/have you heard?!

Re: Scary movies?!

  • Yeah it wasn't my doctor. I was visiting a friend and we were talking about going to see a movie and I bought up going to see the new movie Lucy and she told me that and I agree I thought it was a load of crap, but I was just wondering if anyone else had heard anything about it

  • The worst thing I could see happening is that you get scared and pee your pants. Oops.

  • @ecat504 I know you didn't mean to be offensive, and very much appreciate the apology - you definitely did say that you thought it was BS, which was good to hear.  Thank you for realizing that it was potentially insensitive to share.

    @reverey things that are not "out of line," as you say, can still be a trigger.  It would have been a little different for me if it was shared in a "omg I can't believe how absolutely ridiculous this is, how could he say that" way instead of a "have you heard anything like this, and could it be true" kind of way, but I'm only speaking for myself there.

  • As if we didn't have enough to worry about. Add this to the list of nonsense we know is nonsense but make us have a second thought. :(

    Your very first post ever and it's one that disregards much of the thread... image

    @mrsdanielleM2010‌ I think someone can be triggered by all sorts of things they read on here or on any other forum whether the intention was there or not...but I totally get your point and completely agree, could've been worded better to get the point across. ;)

    Implying that ANYTHING a woman does is the cause of a mc is a hugely shitty thing and knowing we have loss moms on this board and TB in general it shouldn't be that difficult to consider it might be a trigger and either not share at all or word it in a 'listen to this messed up theory' kind of way.

    Ecat already apologized and we had moved on to the rando. This post here seems unnecessary at this point and that winky face is really rubbing me the wrong way. I can't imagine how someone triggered with this topic would take you winking at them about it.

    Nobody accused the op of believing what her dr said, and therefore the guilt trip about explaining why the post was insensitive was completely unnecessary. Also, it had been resolved, so unless someone has a need to have the last word or sensitivity to triggers is somehow something worth fighting over, the phony attempt at peacemaking which translated to "I hear you but you're still wrong" was also completely unnecessary. But hey, there was a winky face, and that makes the condescension acceptable somehow.

    Lucy is not scary. It's more of an action movie. Now Deliver Us From Evil....wow that looks like a good horror!! And I can't wait to go see it.
