Babies are happening; people are having them, adopting them,
and sadly, losing them. Becoming a family is a different experience for each of
the couples in the film but it helps them come together.
The couples are all linked in some way and are all getting
to grips with their pregnancies. I liked that it wasn’t really all that easy
for them and that they fought because then they got to say everything they
needed to say and could come together again knowing more than before. They
helped each other through the difficult times and it means they’ll be better
prepared for the even harder times to come.
Pregnancy seems like such a stressful and uncomfortable time
and I’m just in awe of people who do it. And a little scared. Pregnant women scare
me, I don’t know why. I remember when my sister was pregnant and my little
nephew was kicking away in there and I could feel him kicking. It was the most
intense thing I have ever felt, I can’t even really put it into words. There
was a tiny person in there and he was making sure we all knew it, especially
his mum. Whenever I watched films and saw people feeling the baby kick I never
really got it but then when I felt it for myself, it was honestly just the most
breathtaking thing. Although I suppose if I was actually pregnant and felt the
baby kick it might be more breathtaking but it really was amazing. Anyway, I
guess the film has made me think that I want a baby, oh dear.
Right, so I totally thought this film was going to be
rubbish, I don’t know why but I really thought it was going to just be boring.
But I actually liked it. I mean, I probably wouldn’t watch it again but I
wouldn’t avoid it.
