Pregnancy is a time when you get to treat yourself. And, if you’re a movie buff, who can while away the afternoon in front of the TV with some popcorn and soda, well, this is the best time to indulge yourself.

So, without any further ado, this is our list of Hollywood movies you need to avoid watching, at all costs.

1. Devil’s Due

This 2014 movie is a strict no-no for everyone, and even more so for all you preggos. The movie is about a young couple holidaying in the Dominican Republic, only to be subjected to some ritual. Well, Samantha becomes pregnant, even though she’s been taking her birth-control pills. Samantha experiences strange pregnancy phenomenon and finally gives birth to a baby, before dying.

Apart from the truly awful story, the thought of giving birth to the Anti-Christ is enough to send shivers down your spine. So, pass up the chance to watch this movie, even if you aren’t pregnant.

2. Dawn Of The Dead

Zack Snyder was once a popular guy. Movies like 300, and Sin City, put him on the map. But, there was one lesser known movie that you wouldn’t have heard much about. Well, it was called Dawn Of The Dead, and why you never heard about has much to do with the fact that it was a sorry excuse for a movie.

And, all you pregnant moms should steer well clear of the movie. It’s about a couple who are expecting a baby, and they are caught in the middle of a…wait for it…zombocalypse. That’s just peachy isn’t it. Anyway, the woman is bitten, and she delivers the baby, only for the father to learn that the baby is a zombie too. Can a movie get any worse? Tsk tsk… Mr. Snyder. And, we thought Batman Vs Superman was underwhelming.

3. Junior

Many ladies here love the Austrian bodybuilder-turned-American Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, but to see him discuss sore nipples, menstrual cycles, and sporting a baby bump wasn’t just disturbing, it was downright embarrassing. Do us a favor, and pass the chance to watch this movie. Chances are, you’ll be scarred for life, and might not want to become pregnant again.

4. Species II

Well, the entire series was laughable, disgusting, and in poor taste. But, when you’re pregnant, you need to avoid watching Species II. That love-making and accelerated childbirth scenes from the movie will freak you out, and are probably best left-alone when you are pregnant.

5. The Brood

The Brood is a classically brutish and disgustingly visual movie from the late 70s. We know, you’re probably thinking, why would any one watch the movie? Well, tell that to the Sci-fi loving millions. Anyway, the sight of (Nola Carveth) Samatha Eggar asexually giving birth to two disgusting dwarfs is something that will make even the staunchest of gore lovers throw up.
And, believe us, it’s the last image you want to see when you’re expecting.

So, there you have it. Five movies that you shouldn’t watch when you are pregnant, especially, if you’re experiencing morning sickness. Tell us about other movies that you think prospective moms should avoid.
