6 movies to avoid while pregnantOne thing that is in the back of my mind for when I get pregnant again is having to deal with the surge of new emotions. I am not a crier by nature, but add in the hormones from pregnancy, anxieties and all the changes that are about to take place and I have a much harder time controlling the tears, fears and mood swings.
With that, I try to be kinder to myself when I am pregnant. I avoid any huge changes outside what's already going on and try to work around anything that may increase the emotions and fears - including movies. There are some that all pregnant women should avoid watching - do you really need to watch Bella's painful Twilight pregnancy while you're growing a child of your own? - because they may be especially disturbing with all the pregnancy hormones and fears floating around.
Breaking Dawn - Part 11. Breaking Dawn Part 1
Sure, the baby daddy is hot ... but being pregnant with his child sure takes a toll! Not only does Bella look terrible as her pregnancy progresses, and has to drink human blood to keep her unborn baby happy, but the delivery scene is nothing but nightmares for anyone - especially a pregnant mama-to-be.
