Meteorite-Sized Plot Hole - Spoiler


If there was a baby Erica Durance gave birth to at the end, why didn't she have the baby in the other two alternate timelines? By the way, both the Butterfly Effect 1 and 2 nose bleeds are steals from the New Outer Limits, 1996, episode, "A Stitch in Time" with Amanda Plummer, as a scientist who travels back in time repeatedly to change it, then starts to develop nose bleeds, as new timelines are slammed into her head. But, then, it's not called "stealing," it's called "creative plagiarism," a highly accepted form of writing skill in Hollywood.

The reason she doesn't have a baby in the first two (I assumed) was because there was still a car crash in the first couple of realities, it just wasn't fatal, and so she lost the baby through that.

She even says at one point "I can't move past what we lost in that accident." Or something to that effect.

Either way, this was an awful, awful movie.

Except that no one ever tells him she was pregnant, so in fact he wouldn't have known. Hence, the baby is NOT a plot-hole.
