I can understand why people were upset with this. But the show does indicate that while Kitty is retiring from detective work, she's not becoming a stay-at-home mum either.

She mentions that she's working as a counselor for other human trafficking victims--which I consider to be a huge character development for her. When we first met Kitty, she was so broken and traumatized that she struggled to connect to anyone--sans Sherlock and Watson. And now, she feels that she has enough closure that she's able to become a more open, compassionate person again and use her own experiences to help other trauma victims

I sort of wish that they hadn't played the baby card--and let her come to the career change decision on her own.

But I don't resent her from retiring from detective work, and I don't think it was handled too terribly--at least in comparison to other examples of the "career vs. family" conflict.

I do think it could be helpful for other trauma victims, who thought they would never be able to have a family or a "normal" life again, to see this sort of recovery represented in fiction.
