Thoughts about Pregnancy


[Spoiler]


I saw the episode where William finds the pregnancy stick and was told by his older daughter that she had a natural miscarriage.

First, I'm unsure why she would throw it in the trash anywhere near the house, since she might get caught. That seemed a bit too dumb.

Second, I'm a bit unsure about the timing. The pregnancy (she didn't say and we have no apparent sign of it before she tells her dad -- did I miss something?) seems to have occurred from her first time with some guy she met at a football/soccer game.

The sex was off screen and she seemed to not like the experience; she cut it off with the guy. This was sometime after her grandmother's wedding. There wasn't that much time after that and William and Mary's (cut short) wedding -- a few weeks. And, she did not go with the guy right after the grandmother's wedding either. She had to be pregnant for a few weeks at least as well. So, there doesn't seem much time. Again, we have no sign until he talks to his daughter that anything happened other than the sex. I guess the timing can work, but it would be pretty close.

I don't have access to the third season. Does the matter come up again?

I've watched the last season a couple of times and don't recall much if anything being said about it.

With the ages of the kids and the number of characters, this show could have had material for a long, long time. I wish it had gone on longer, really miss it.

I enjoyed this series too, but I suspect Martin Clunes got very busy doing Doc Martin and other things. He's a favorite of mine.
