Miscarriage and IVF not realistically portrayed
Considering April's obsession with having a baby (an obsession I completely understand), I thought the baby-related aspects of this movie could have been handled more realistically.
Firstly, the ultrasound showed a ridiculously advanced fetus. Then, even if we're to believe it was only a few weeks old, the resulting miscarriage (followed by a D&C) would still have been a painful, bloody, emotionally wrenching and profoundly sad experience. None of this was shown.
Secondly, IVF is a very involved process requiring weeks of injections and many clinic visits. It's an emotional rollercoaster, with women suffering stress levels similar to that of chemotherapy patients. I really didn't get that impression from what we saw. (Also, April's comment to her mother that if she made "one false move," she'd never talk to her again, was bitchy beyond belief - we're supposed to like this person?)
I don't understand why filmmakers don't do a little research before putting these things into movies. Another example: the "chair" in which April was sitting for the embryo transfer was all wrong. Where were the ski-boot-like stirrups to hold her legs and torso perfectly still for the delicate procedure?
