Movies to Binge-Watch When You're Pregnant AF

Okay, binge-watching is a big stretch. Pat yourself on the back if you can make it through just one of these films without dozing off... we know the struggle is real.

1. Look Who's Talking (1989)



Don't skip this movie! True, you've probably seen it a dozen times before but not since you found out you were expecting. Trust me, it will be a whole new hilarious and relatable experience. Side note: I really wish the baby could talk in there -- telling me he or she doesn't like mushrooms would be a lot less painful than kicking me in the stomach.



2. Baby Mama (2008)



Kate can't get pregnant so she hires Angie to be her surrogate. The reason I love this movie is because pre-pregnancy we are all Kate. But after the deed we morph into crazy Angie peeing in the sink. Don't lie, we've all been there.


3. Baby Boom (1987)



Diane Keaton is 'Miss Career Woman' but her world turns upside down when she inherits a baby and she has to decide between the job she's worked for her whole life or the life she never knew she wanted.

4. Juno (2007)



Was your baby unplanned? Well at least you're out of high school. Oh your in 11th grade? Awkward.

5. Where the Heart Is (2000)



A very pregnant Natalie Portman is stranded at a Walmart by her deadbeat boyfriend but she overcomes life's obstacles with the help of a few friends, including one played by Stockard Channing -- aka Rizzo from Grease. One of my personal faves ðŸ’—

6. Cheaper By the Dozen (2003)



12 kids?! This movie is all the birth control you'll ever need which is why it made the list. You're welcome.


7. Storks (2016)


If you have kids and you're not ready to field the "how does the baby get in your tummy" question when you tell them they're going to be a big brother or sister, then this is a great movie to watch with them. Hopefully they buy it.

8. Knocked Up (2007)



Pregnancy really does change everything as I'm learning. And for main characters Ben and Alison it can really f*** up your plans -- for the weekend and for your career. BUT having a baby is also a beautiful blessing... this accidental couple didn't always see it that way though. Favorite scene: when Alison and her sister take several dozen pregnancy tests just to be 150% sure.

9. For Keeps (1988)



Sure we've all seen "Sixteen Candles' and "Pretty in Pink" but have you ever seen a pregnant Molly Ringwold? Didn't think so. Does she keep the baby? You'll have to see for yourself.

10. Father of the Bride Part II



Can you imagine being pregnant the same time as your mom?! I can. Not so long ago I had an eerily realistic dream about it.

Movies to refrain from watching

Trust me -- you're hormones and SO will thank you.

Manchester By The Sea

If you have nightmares about leaving your straightener on and burning your house down as I often do then do not watch this movie. Just don't.


Girl on the Train

This movie is just depressing. UGH! If you're in the mood for an Emily Blunt movie (I don't know why you would be but still) then do yourself a favor and pop in The Devil Wears Prada instead.


Rosemary's Baby

If you have a good sense of humor, move this pick up to the "Watch" list. If you're squeamish, not a fan of scary movies and have weird neighbors you're better off leaving this one alone.

Locked Away

Word of advice, you might as well just stay away from all Lifetime movies. Watching them will just make you more paranoid about a normal trip to Target or the mall.
