True or False?

Is it true that if you watch a scary movie while pregnant it will harm the baby?

My boyfriend LOVES scary movies. So that's like all we watch. And my little boy is healthy and perfect.
The only thing I don't like about it, is sometimes he picks really disturbing horror movies and right before bed, and I have very vivid nightmares.
But other than that I've never had a problem with them.

Alright thanks ladies. I really wanna see that new movie Mamma but my bf said I couldn't cuz it'll hurt the baby. Totally made me mad cuz he's gonna go see it and he knew how bad I wanted to see it.

...Well I don't know of anyone being traumatized by a movie, but that's interesting I guess..

Haha, I never heard of that...I don't think It's true. But I don't like scary movies any ways since my boyfriend works overnights and I will be scared sh*tless and won't go to bed haha.

Apparently if the mother is traumatized it scars the baby.
