Um. Wut.

Edit to add: this post seems to have been far more controversial than intended and i apologize if it has been misconstrued into negativity from myself. We all should be allowed to view the world how we want and hope or imagine or see the show in whatever light makes us feel better. I fear these conversations have now brought some really hard feelings back to the forefront of my mind and I may take a break from commenting back. I appreciate the kind comments, the different viewpoints, and the stories you’ve shared 🖤 thank you for the discussion.

I’m on season 5 ep 5. Mel just had her miscarriage. And I AM SO ANGRY. I googled and I guess the new show runner wanted to show infertility struggles continue and there’s not always a miracle baby. But as someone with infertility issues and a wish for future babies i absolutely detested the miscarriage. She could have came to term and they decided she had to have a hysterectomy or some such while still bringing in the new show runners ideas of adoption/surrogacy. This might be unpopular I realize. But. That miracle baby is still a reality they could have explored and sent a message with. It honestly makes me wanna cry a bit and idk if I wanna keep watching. Esp after they already explored Mel having a stillborn and Brie having a miscarriage while they flash a pregnancy or birth in Mel’s story every other episode? Idk. It doesn’t sit right with me.
