Is it ok to go into haunted houses for halloween if you are pregnant? i heard it was bad for the baby to be scared

Enjoy yourself: If you anticipate that you will faint, truly get frightened, or it will involve falling or tumbling, I suggest you avoid the haunted house, but as an adult, most of us get but a momentary startle at a haunted house as we are able to recognize pretend from real and have a lot of fun.

Not a problem: The uterus and its baby contents are well insullated from short term events such as fright in a haunted house. There is no transfer of physical or emotional things to the developing baby. If you like the scary things, then go for it.
