Oooh yeah. There's a list of "things not to read while pregnant." Funny thing is that I did read one of those books (can't remember what it was at the moment) and it never occurred to me to worry, because it was so obviously fiction. (Also wasn't having problems with *that* pregnancy.)
I don't think I would have reacted this badly if I had merely been pregnant, without any complications. I'm normally quite confident about these things, and yeah, fiction. It just was a particular phase where I had to lie in bed for weeks and it wasn't quite sure whether everything would turn out okay (which it did, thankfully), so my nerves were... tense, to say the least. I was reading to distract myself. That was not a good time to read this particular story.
