Bella has Edward’s baby in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1,” and it almost kills her. But for most mortals, having a baby isn’t that melodramatic. A lot of movies have been made about this universally relatable subject. Here are five:

v “Rosemary’s Baby” (1968): Still one of the scariest movies ever and a great example of writer-director Roman Polanski’s ability to evoke a mesmerizingly dark, dangerous mood.

v “Away We Go” (2009): The story of a couple in their 30s on the brink of having their first child who travel North America searching for the best place to settle down.

v “Knocked Up” (2007): It’s mainly about the mismatched Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl as they struggle with an unplanned pregnancy. But it’s the rapid-fire buddy banter that gives the film its energy.

v “Waitress” (2007): Keri Russell is radiant in this rare lead role as Jenna, a small-town Southern waitress famous for making the best pies around, with inventive ingredients and names inspired by whatever is going on in her life.

v “Juno” (2007): “Juno” made as much of a star out of Ellen Page as it did screenwriter Diablo Cody, who created not just a character but an entirely original and specific way of speaking.

“Macy’s THANKS- GIVING DAY PARADE (9 a.m., nbc): For many of us, this week’s holiday will be marked by an abundance of TV football and gastronomical gluttony. But it just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without the massive march through the streets of Manhattan. Now in its 85th year, the parade again will be studded with all kinds of stars, including Neil Diamond, Mary J. Blige, “American Idol” champ Scotty McCreery, the Muppets, and, of course, Santa Claus. But the real attraction, as always, are those humongous balloon creatures, which boggle the eyes and severe as a reminder not to bloat out at the dinner table.

“american horror story” (10 p.m., fx): It’s a big night for fans of “American Horror Story.” We supposedly will finally learn the identity of the man in the black rubber suit.
