I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant. i want to watch this horror movie in theater but i've heard its harmful for the baby to feel anxiety and fear. is it?

If you are not: Afraid then you have nothing to worry about. Extreme trauma or stress can take a toll on a pregnancy but watching a horror movie that you want to watch and that you can leave at any time hardly counts as trauma.
