Anyone else really sensitive to films/tv/books since becoming a mum?

Just watched an episode of a series with a very sad / baby related scene. I won’t go into details and pass on the misery but god I hate it when accidentally exposed to these things as they really upset me and can’t stop thinking about them.

i can’t read any books or watch films where anything bad happens to kids or babies since becoming a mum. Anyone else have this? I used to love the handmaids tale for example but now the whole thing of peoples babies been taken away I find unbearable

I’m not a mum, have never wanted to be, and don't even like kids that much. But for some reason I find any scene in a film where a child is taken away from their mum absolutely unbearable to watch and invariably makes me properly, mascara-down-the-face cry. Embarrassingly, the absolute pinnacle of this, for me, is when Dumbo gets taken away from his mum and she can’t comfort him. Literally cannot watch it (and neither can my dad who is a massive softy).
