Seriously...HOW is she not pregnant?!


Everytime you turn around, they're having more sex on the freaking beach. HOW is this girl not 20 shades of pregnant?? And am I supposed to believe he has that many condoms tucked away in his wallet??


"...and now you want me to eat bunnies and I'm kinda freaking out, okay?!"

This movie was created for teenagers in order to make them think that they can have all the sex they want and there would be no consequences for their actions.

Maybe if they do a sequel which takes place a few years after the first movie where Dean and Emma break up and they went to seperate colleges.Dean is nowhere to be seen and Emma is drawn to a smoking hot priest named Richard who is being played by Taylor Kinney.Emma and Richard meet on a cruise ship and get thrown overbroad due to a terrible storm. They end up on a different island where they have to depend on each other and work together to survive.Emma and Richard get to know each other and tell each other about their pasts.Days turns weeks,weeks turn months and after a whole year they consumate their feeling for each other after they bonded over the lives they lead and pasts heartbreak before meeting.Danger come in the form of drug smugglers and wild beast.Emma gains some weight mysteriously and neither she or Richard know that she is pregnant until she gives birth under the waterfall that hides a cave on Christmas eve.Richard helped deliver a surprising healthy baby girl.At the end they eventually get found on New years eve by some college students who are looking for a island to party the end of the year and who should find Emma and Richard with their baby girl in her mother arms in the cave is none other than Dean,Emma's ex!Whoa that might be entertainting to see if the producers of the first movie was to go that way!Let me know what you guys think!

No offense but I would HATE your movie. Dean and Emma belong together and the only babies she should have are his. It's like saying that Bella should divorce Edward and have Jacob's baby. WTF

reply

It was only a backup suggestion in case they can't continue Dean and Emma's romance in a possible sequel!So,Relax.

reply

Sorry. I guess I'm pretty passionate about this movie. I love it.

reply

I loved it too.And lets be honest,would you watch a romance movie thats across between the blue lagoon and the thornbirds sets in our time?

reply

The mysterious weight gain doesn't make much sense. I would think after awhile she would realize she is pregnant. Story is good.

It's not absurd at all. The ease and rapidity with which two people get pregnant varies widely. Some people get pregnant the first time they have unprotected sex (which happened to a friend of mine), while others can take several months to a year of consistent effort before achieving it even without either party having any fertility issues, while others find that they do have fertility issues and it'll take even longer & possibly even medical intervention to achieve.

And, barring tests that demonstrate you do, in fact, have fertility issues, there's no way to predict how fast it will happen.

Malnutrition and stress can both reduce fertility, as well, so although their limited food sources combined with the psychological and physical stress of being in such circumstances wouldn't necessarily prevent conception, it certainly wouldn't help, either.

That being said, pregnancy would have been a possibility from the very first time they had sex, but there's nothing strange about NOT getting pregnant in that amount of time either (approx 100 days, if I remember correctly), especially under those circumstances.

I had children early while several of my friends and family members started later, so I've gotten more than one panicked phone call from a friend who'd been trying to conceive for several months without success, wondering what was wrong with them. In all but one case, nothing was wrong with them or with their partner. It just doesn't always happen right away. Apart from the one friend who had a medical condition, the others eventually conceived. It just took a little more time for some than others.

I'm glad they didn't go there with this movie simply because I was expecting that they would, so it was a mildly refreshing surprise.

So, they were at their most fertile.
No they weren't. A woman tends to reach her most fertile around the age of 22.

So, realistically she should have gotten knocked up after 2+ months worth of unprotected sex. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if she'd gotten pregnant her first time too.
You are focused entirely on my statement about nutritional deficiency and apparently ignored everything I said about how improbable it is for any given woman to actually become pregnant. She just didn't get pregnant, that's it.

Plus on top of all that, maybe there are extenuating circumstances. Maybe Emma has a tilted uterus that prevents a zygote from implanting. Maybe she has a hormone imbalance and doesn't get the LH surge necessary to trigger ovulation (if the ovaries don't release an ovum then it can't get fertilized). Maybe Dean has low sperm motility. There are dozens of reasons why they didn't get pregnant.

Lots of people don't get immediately pregnant from sex, are we going to have to send a bunch of you to remedial sex education...

reply

Me and my ex had sex everyday for like 6 months with no condoms. I didn't get pregnant and I get very regular periods with a healthy exercise regimen and a balanced diet.

reply

Did you stop to think that maybe you or maybe your ex is infertile? It seems if you were trying to get pregnant for six months, you may want to consult with a doctor. If you were NOT trying to get pregnant, well, you are not too bright, just lucky.

reply

I think she did get pregnant. To be continued.... ;)

Seriously...HOW is she not pregnant?!

TV(Lifetime, nonetheless)keeping things light for a change. Let's give credit where credit is due.

reply

I think the easiest explanation is that Dean wasn't able to produce sperm yet. Look, he didn't have even any beard yet!
