Ever watched a pregnancy horror movie and thought, 'Wait, is this how people REALLY get pregnant?' If you’re anything like me, the whole idea of pregnancy portrayed in movies can be… downright terrifying and weirdly inaccurate. Enter the recent review of Push on Shudder—ya know, that arty pregnancy horror flick that traded believable characters and a solid plot for some really pretty scenes (source). It’s the kind of movie that makes you question everything, from your favorite jeans to whether your own pregnancy journey will involve ghostly apparitions or just, well, lots of patience and hope. Spoiler alert: it won’t be anything like Push—and that’s a good thing! So let’s unpack why this movie’s take on pregnancy horror misses the mark and how, for those of us exploring at-home conception, reality can be a lot more supportive and less spooky than it seems.
