OMG!!
I completely feel the same. That new movie Knocked-up gets my blood boiling. I love how the movies and TV show how easy it is... once you get a positive result, that's it. You're having a baby, let the fun begin. No worries ever.
My 2nd m/c coincided with Britney Spears first pregnancy. TO see her flaunting her belly and her lack of parenting skills (then and now) still breaks my heart. Why her, she doesn't deserve it.

Also - I am staying away from the View (regardless of contraversary). The young blond is due when I should have been.

I think there should be a movie made about m/c and how real, sad and life changing it really is. Not to mention how isolating it makes you feel.

I understand how you feel. But at the same time... the movies and TV shows that DO show miscarriages and stillbirths are just too hard for me to watch... Even 2 years after my 3rd miscarriage... and I've had a baby since then. It's still too difficult for me to watch. The movie Butterfly Effect has an alternate ending where they show Ashton Kutcher as a baby in his mother's stomach and he's strangling himself with his umbilical cord. That is WAY too difficult for me to see. I cry everytime. There's also a show on MTV called RUNS HOUSE. It's a reality show that follows "REV RUN" from "RUN DMC" and his family around. They just experienced a similar situation and it shows the actual pain they all feel because of it. It also shows how hard it is for Justine (Run's wife) to cope with and how hard she clings to the other kids. I can watch that show but not that first episode where she's in the hospital. I don't know, maybe I'm just not as strong or the pain is still too much on the surface. But I just can't seem to confront those feelings enough to watch a show or movie like those ones.
But I understand how you feel. Hollywood just doesn't understand certain situations. I'm also angry at the new show coming out called "army wives". . . at first I was excited because I thought it'd be a reality show but once I saw the ACTRESSES in it I realized it was NOT going to be real at all. I thought, hell, they should have had cameras following some of us real army wives around. . . they sure as hell would get enough drama for a TV series. . . But I won't be watching that show because I know it'll only piss me off because it won't be accurate AT ALL. It'll only portray the media's idea of what an army wife goes through day to day and then try to stick in their political view... How annoying! But that's the way Hollywood has always been. Everything is glitz and glam... wouldn't want to depress someone TOO much because that would hurt ratings. Their arguement. . . who wants to go to a movie that doesn't have a happy ending? Who cares if it's accurate or not.
Keep strong, hun and don't give up.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the butterfly effect. I watched the alternate ending thinking it was the real ending. I never saw the real ending. That made me cry and so mad even before my husband and I even considered kids. That made me mad because he thought the world would be better off without him. I thought that about myself when I was growing up (not a happy childhood), so that hit home in a different way.

I think a reality show about military wives would be a good idea too. I"m a military brat. We went through some tough stuff, especially when my dad was sent over seas and my mom was stuck with us 4 kids by herself for 2 years!

When I saw the trailer for "Knocked Up" - I cringed. You are correct - most people think that once you get pregnant - there is a baby 9 months later. Well - as we well know - it just isn't true - and there are statistics to back it up.
I am not a huge fan of TV (I only watch it at my BF's house) and this is the reason why - TV shows are fantasy, not reality. And people sometimes cannot distingush between the two.
Interesting topic to post - thank you for bring that movie up. At first I though it looked so stupid - and I assumed it was just my reaction due to losing my little one. It is nice to know other people had a similar reaction.
