During pregnancy, you have to make the most of it while you can, before everything changes (for the better that is). There are many things you can enjoy, such as the extra sleep your body needs, all the food, the quiet times and of course, putting your feet up!
The ideal way to spend an evening relaxing is to watch a good flick, so we wanted to put our favourite must-watch movies during pregnancy into this post for you. Start ticking them off and be sure to let us know in the comments if we have forgotten any of your favourites!
