Emotional changes experienced by pregnant women will have an impact on the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid stress because stress can inhibit the intake of oxygen to the fetus. A relaxed mind will create a comfortable pregnancy and fetal health.

The experts recommend that pregnant women avoid the things that can cause stress. One of the things that need to be avoided is a suspenseful movie. This is because the fetus can feel the emotions she felt.

In a research note, when mothers are fun movies, like The Sound of Music, the fetus will go quiet and happy. Meanwhile, when the mother watching a horror movie or a movie that drain tears, paused, and the fetus come weakening of strong emotions as the mother.

Although not known how the fetus is able to recognize her emotional differences, but experts suspect that hormonal changes triggered by the emotions generated by the film will be transmitted indirectly to the fetus.

In the study, 10 pregnant women were asked to watch a different piece of film genre, namely the film The Sound of Music and movies that drain tears, The Champ. Then the experts who monitor the movements of the fetus performed at their mothers watching these films using ultrasound scanning.

Various literature has mentioned the pregnant women who suffer from stress at high risk preterm labor. Infants born to mothers who stress are known to have lower intelligence levels, tend to hyperactivity and emotional problems.
