Why pregnant film fans should stick to happy movies

Unborn babies respond to mother's mood while she watches a movie, scientists say.

Pregnant women planning a night at the cinema might want to steer clear of tear-jerkers.

Scientists have discovered that unborn babies respond to their mother's mood while she is watching a movie - and become quiet and still if the film is sad.

In a bizarre experiment, foetuses threw their arms around when their mothers watched a feel-good clip from The Sound of Music - but became subdued during a sad scene from The Champ.
Researchers have no idea how the babies pick up on their mothers' emotions, but suspect that the rush of hormones triggered by an emotional film are transmitted indirectly to the foetus.
