'19 Kids & Counting' Finale: One Duggar Moving Away
'Don't Be Tardy': Kim Wants To Have More Kids
Charlotte from SITC pregnant
Filed under: Your Pregnancy, Bump Watch, Media, That's Entertainment
Many of you may remember a little show called Sex in the City. Those of us who watched may remember Kristin Davis' character, Charlotte, was unable to conceive. She jumped through numerous hoops and even tried IVF, which didn't work. Eventually, her marriage suffered for it--although Charlotte ended up living with and raising puppies with her lawyer.
According to Perez Hilton, who seems to get exclusive digs on such things, in the upcoming SATC movie Charlotte finds herself in a family way. The movie, much like Charlotte's pregnancy, may have never happened, yet here it is upon us. Who knows how Charlotte gets knocked up, or if it's even true, but I'm sort of interested in this turn of events from a psychological standpoint.
Were there women viewers who were unable to conceive that identified with Charlotte? How will those women feel now, when in the la la land of television a woman who was ok with not having kids suddenly becomes pregnant? or, why couldn't Charlotte adopt?
It's weird when you really stop to think about it. Why did the Charlotte character need to have a baby? Miranda had a baby--wasn't that enough? Of course it's natural to think that a female character would want a baby and would go to whatever lengths to get one, but why not have a strong female character who decided not to have kids?
Or, better yet, one who had to deal with the reality that she could not conceive? So many women in the real world must live with that every day of their lives. I wish life were more like television so all of them could be magically pregnant.
Just think about it, that's all I'm saying. And yes, I admit it--I watched the show (first few seasons anyway) and am generally excited about the Sex in the City movie.

Marylena said...Charlotte did adopt, as Eva said, a little girl from China. In the last episode, she'd just received her daughter's picture. I don't know why they needed to have her get pregnant.
They did have a stong woman who did not want kids at all - Samantha the successful PR rep.
Though I just realized it's sad that the "slut" is the one who doesn't want kids.
Of course, Miranda didn't particularly want kids. She got to be the one who got accidentally pregnant. She was very happy with her son once she'd bonded with him.

rumana said...The "slut"? I thought there was more than one character that cheated on their partner with someone else?

Groovymarlin said...I loved the first four seasons or so of SATC. After that, the show really jumped the shark. That last season especially was dreadful. That being said, in a tired, played-out show, the "Charlotte desperately wants to have a baby" storyline was possibly most tired and played-out element. I hated it, and I even had trouble conceiving myself (it took my husband and I about two years of trying, but we were finally blessed with a lovely daughter).
I really don't know why they're making a movie. I know they only way I'll ever see it is when it makes its way to cable in a few years.

SKL said...I think the point of Charlotte was to attempt to be representative of all different kinds of women, including one more-or-less conservative, more-or-less traditional type, for whom having a baby is naturally (stereotypically) a priority.
Not like anything in SATC was particularly reflective of mainstream American life. I hope.
