Same anon, I thought of something else. I mean, it's also more interesting to me to see how people deal with an unexpected pregnancy. Most shows I watch, there's a lot of "We're going to have this baby because we planned for it" and I just don't think that's how it goes most of the time IRL, you know? It might change some attitudes IRL to see people dealing with pressures of unplanned pregnancies.

You're right that 80% of the time the writers are like "BABBY?! HOW DO WHAT NO I UH BABY DOES THINGS?!" but if they COULD roll with that kind of punch more often I'd like to see what they could do with it.

Same. The only example I can think of rn is Bones, but I thought her pregnancy was handled quite interestingly and appropriate for her character. Also I like her being a tough mamabear.

I kind of side-eye people who think a pregnancy will ruin an entire show. Though I guess if you hate babies it would ruin it for you. YMMV

I mentioned above that I adored In Plain Sight's handling of this, from the discovery that Mary was pregnant, to her honest exploration of adoption - and the fact that she ultimately rejected that part due to very in-character control issues - and the time we got to see her with the baby. There were work-life balance issues, but given that she basically raised her own sister, there was no 'how do I be a mom' flailing.
