Based on the Pregnant Chicken post, what movies would you add as not safe to watch while pregnant or when your children are here?

I watched Unconditional in theater yesterday and wanted to just bawl, but controlled myself...barely.

Well there's a movie for this, but the book is soooo much better. But I would not watch/read My Sister's Keeper while pregnant!

@MrsBrewer: The book is phenomenal. I read it the same day I read Memory Keeper's Daughter, definitely a book to avoid while pregnant.

@MaisyMay: Memory Keeper's Daughter? I've never heard of that! I'm not pregnant yet, so I might have to look into that before I am!
Have you seen the movie though My Sister's Keeper with Cameron Diaz?

@MrsBrewer: Yes the book is way better than the movie@MaisyMay: I say letters to God or 50/50 also very emotional movies, but honestly I cried at everything even movies that werent sad

The only movie I've seen while pregnant that made me have a seriously strong reaction was Prometheus. There's like a horrendous c-section/abortion scene with a robot performing the procedure to remove her alien baby while she lays in a tube and has no anesthesia. Rough.

Hmm, haven't seen the Twilight movies, but it you're squeamish at all about delivery, don't read the last book! She has a truly horrendous (yet fascinating) pregnancy and birth. I assume this would be portrayed somewhat in the movie.
*ETA* just clicked on the article and they mentioned Breaking Dawn

Any "I didn't know I was pregnant" episodes. Babies being born in toilets = terrifying while pregnant.

Don't watch the Spanish film, The Orphanage. It's a very good movie, but the twist which involves a little kid made both my husband and I cry - before we had LO. Now I'm thinking about it, and sick to my stomach a little 
it was billed as a scary/horror film, but it isn't very scary - it's just terribly, terribly sad. now I feel like crying!

um...anything? LOL. I cried at the freakin' vampire diaries the other night. I can find something to cry over in just about any movie, honestly.
someone got their feelings hurt? bawling.
a couple breaks up? bawling.
an animal looks lost or confused or sad? bawling.
any type of violence? nausea AND tearing up, depending.

If you are pregnant or have a baby or toddler, I wouldn't recommend Dear Zachary: A letter to a son about his father. SO SAD. it's too much to even absorb or comprehend or... omg, just don't watch it

@MaisyMay: LOVE THE MEMORY KEEPER'S DAUGHTER! BUT NOW I DON'T REMEMBER HOW IT ENDS...MAYBE I SHOULD RE READ.

@Mrsdaredevil: Definitely worth a reread. Do you want me to remind you of the ending?

I saw Marley and Me while pregnant with DS and I would not stop crying.

Ditto to what @mrsbrewer said, all of it actually! book was way better but the movie left me a wreckkk watching it. I hardly ever, ever cried pre-pregnancy but now all it takes is a sappy commercial. Ugh.
