Movies you should NOT watch while pregnant or a new mom

jaimevogt · October 2012

I concur, I ended up watching 2 of these while pregnant. Bad idea.

Twilight - Breaking Dawn

Sarah's Keys

I couldn't get the list from your link, but I read Sarah's Key before I was pg with #3 and had a 2yo and 1yo - I wouldn't recommend that book for any parent!!! Breaking Dawn didn't bother me, though.

I read Sarah's Key and cried so hard I am waiting a while before watching the movie...lol!

I definitely agree with most of those. But I'm in the camp of don't watch Twilight movies because they're boring but I know I'm in the minority here!

Sophies Choice? DEFINITE no no. Oh gosh.

I should add Prometheus to this list. Which I pretty sure I also watched when I was pregnant. Especially if you fear cs. YIKES

I'm with you all on this.

Another one, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. OMG - horrifying.

That's funny that "Rosemary's Baby" is first on the list. I just watched that this past weekend with DH. It's just so out there, that it doesn't really bother me, pregnant or not

Some I would agree with, some not so much, but one that should be on there is Pet Cemetary. Super creeps on that kid! Also another is The Good Son

I read Sarah's Key and based on that I don't think I could watch the movie! I haven't seen Sophie's Choice but I don't think I could take that either.

Comedies and extreme horror don't bother me as much because they aren't realistic enough to hit home for me.

I won't watch Breaking Dawn just because I can't stand the Twilight movies!

my husband decided we were going to see this in theaters when i was about four months. when it was over, i thought i was going to kill him. i mean, i know he couldn't have known, but STILL.
