So you're pregnant in the middle of another COVID19 pandemic and you want a movie or two to watch to take your anxious mind off your own pregnancy but still something you can enjoy, relate to or empathize with? Grab your popcorn or other Dr. approved snacks...I've got you covered. Here are my fave picks for a Preggo Movie Night In:
1. Knocked Up. Must watch if you're in the mood for a RomCom type of movie. Maybe you can relate; maybe not. Whatever the case is; the acting is great and the storyline pulls you in and away from reality for a while.
2. The Back Up Plan. Another RomCom meets serendipity kind of film with all the feels.
Trigger alert...these next 3 are about loss of some sort...
3. The Color Purple. It's a bit heavy but one thing it does give is perspective. Is the glass half full, or half empty or are you just grateful to still be pregnant? Questions to ask yourself after watching this?
4. Roma is another heavy one that delivers on storyline and perspective.
5. Twinsters. Ok this one is not directly about a pregnant mother but indirectly the story is told of a mother her newborn twins and separation. Spoiler alert...it has a happy ending.
Have you watched any of these? What are your favorite mom or expecting mom movies? Drop a line in the comment section. Happy Watching!
