Mia's Baby - Page 3

Oldie - Reality and soaps don't mix, maybe especially on Days? The writers just want to hurry and move on to the next scene, details be damned. It would be a lot more interesting to have some of those details put in, though. (Of course, the placenta could have come out, and the cord kept until it could be cut, but I know the writers will never follow through with that. Hmm, since Nicole has become a wack job, maybe she ate the placenta, like a dog does.)

And is there a car seat in Nicole's car, doubt it. I know this is a soap but jeez could we have just a little resemblance of reality.

Thanks for saving me the typing. Mia's a kid who just went through a rough experience. Nicole should have alerted someone.

And I still think the drawer thing was strange.

Nic had to talk to Mia, so she placed the baby in a safe spot. Should she have dumped her on the floor? People in the past and even some poor people nowadays use a drawer as a crib for newborns. As long as they don't shut it, it's o.k.

This is how I viewed the scenes as well. A lot of people have been upset by the lack of realism being portrayed, but to be honest I don't think too many, if any, soap focuses on the realism of delivering a baby. I don't recall ever seeing any reference to a placenta on a soap. As for the baby being clean, didn't Nicole come out of the bathroom with the baby wrapped in a towel? That gave me the impression she had cleaned up the baby in the bathroom, but I could be wrong.

But I do agree, SOMEONE, whether it be Dr. Baker or Nicole should have called an ambulance.

That's exactly what I was saying, sure she told Nicole she was fine, but she's only 16 years old and just went through a traumatic birthing experience. Nicole should have called for help before just leaving her alone unattended. Even Nicole made the comment that Mia was just a child, so why why why leave her like that?

Re the affection and the baby switch: I was thinking Nicole will try and pass Mia and Sami's babies off as HER twins. Tell Sami her baby's dead, keep Mia's and tell EJ and everyone else that she had fraternal twin girls.
Just a thought, but one that hasn't been discussed

I couldn't agree more the entire episode was just too stupid for words. I know it's a soap but it made no sense at all leaving a girl all by herself and walking out the door into the cold with a baby in a blanket. Nicole just gets more pathetic by the day.

Okay, Nicole doesn't even look after Pookie anymore and now she can deliver a primip? PUHLEASE!!! There are so many problems with this scene that I had to walk away from the TV. I have spent most of my career in labour and delivery and that was the biggest crock of sh!t ever! No care or concern at all, at all! Very nice of you to make excuses for her but you DO NOT BATHE a newborn for at least four hours after delivery! Body temperature is... oh, never mind! Who the he11 needs a health care professional with Nicole around, apparently she can do anything. My co-worker and I watched a bit today on our lunch and when Mia said "It's okay, I'm not bleeding or anything" we almost died laughing. Honey, if you aren't bleeding after a delivery then maybe something is terribly wrong! Whatever DOOL. Anything to keep pimping AZ at the expense of any semblance of reality.

I guess I should have read this post first before posting mine. I hope that Days will surprise us and have the baby switch nixed (since everyone is expecting it). One Life to Live just did a baby switch about a month ago.

ITA SamIAm. Realism is NOT the way with children in soaps. The don't seem to need to go to school, only the prom, they grow up in three years, they don't seem to need to be looked after, they are born in prisons, field, turrets and caves with no medical help...Didn't Kim and Kayla both give birth in prison, with only their husbands there, no guards??? In fact, the only time newborns seem to need help is if by some fluke they are born in the hospital.

No. birth and childhood are definitely a WTF was that? in soaps.

I will agree with your opinion Wrangler. Although I do think Ari did a good job as a actress. But like someone said.....can't wait for the drunk Nicole to return.
