Pregnant after a Loss

How come no one told me! Re: The Help (SPOILER)

I watched The Help for the first time today while DH was at school. Good movie.

 SPOILER ALERT! 

How come no one mentioned in all the times they mentioned it was an awesome movie about the heart wrenching miscarriage scene?!   I immediately started bawling like a baby and completely lost it.  Watching her plant her 3rd rose bush was too much.  I cried and cried.  I was a complete mess.

It's amazing how even a Hollywood reenactment of something like that sends me into a complete breakdown.

    Ugh I watched it in the theater and was totally sobbing.  :-(  I have the same problem in Up when Ellie has some sort of IF or m/c issue.

    Oh, I am so sorry!

    I knew about that part, and still had a hard, hard time watching it. 

    ETA: But I do love the underlying message of never giving up! 

    That is a good underlying message.  It broke my heart when she said she hadn't told her husband.  I don't know how I would have gotten through my mc's without DH.

    I may have sobbed and blubbered through the first 10 minutes of Up.

    I read the book before my loss and watched the movie months later after my loss. I had forgotten about it (silly, naive pre-loss me) and a few moments before that scene I remembered and reached over to DH and warned him it was about to get painful to watch. It's definitely hard to see, but I thought they handled it very well.

    I have not watched that movie yet because I knew it had a m/c in it.  After the Oscars I thought about watching it- but don't think I am ready. 

     Not to ruin this movie either but I had seen UP a few yrs ago, and knew what happened- I watched it a few months ago and just BALLED. I was crying so bad my mom thought something major had happened (it was right after we told my parents I was pg again- and of course she thought the worst!)

    I know, right?! I watched "The Help" for the first time a few weeks ago and the MC scene caught me completely off guard. I had no clue that was comming and I just burst into tears. Watching her plant that third rose bush was the most heart wrenching thing I've seen in a movie in a long time.

    In the book, it was a lot more descriptive. She was much further along in her pregnancy (2nd trimester) and she actually buried the baby at least one of those times.  Crying

    I had the same reaction, and then I also wondered why no one said anything!  I decided I missed any warnings because I specifically avoided The Help posts before I watched it.  It's a good thing I was home alone.

    Yes, and they also marked the graves for the babies.  She buried the baby in a box underneath, and then planted a rose bush above.  It's heartwrenching.

    I still haven't watched the end of the movie. I was home alone and decided to watch "The Help", because I heard so many good things about it and the m/c-scene totally blind sided me. It reminded me too much of my own and I just stopped watching the movie right there.

    DH's Cousin's and aunts want to do a movie night with all the girls of the family and of course, they picked out "The Help". I figure I'm going to have to disappear for a few minutes when this scene comes up.
