Private Practice: Poor Amelia! Plus The Show Scores With Big Ratings!
So on last night’s “Private Practice” we learned what is wrong with Amelia’s baby. Oh they made us wait to learn it too. The baby doesn’t have a brain! No brain at all! What . . . a . . . horrid situation! I don’t understand why she’s still carrying it? Was this found out too far along and now she can do nothing because it’s against the law? I feel so bad for Amelia! She is also taking her anger out on Addison, who now has her new son Henry (this show was taking place 5 weeks after the last episode). She can’t look at Addison or deal with the fact that she has this perfect baby she waited so long for. Amelia has been staying with Sam. I get that Amelia was hurting, but Addison had been hurting for so long as well. This didn’t come easy for her. I didn’t feel like Amelia was being fair, but she herself admitted this sort of.
Sheldon was MIA. He’s supposedly in the Bahamas with his ex-wife . . . oh no! She apparently left her new husband to be at the alter, and she and Sheldon took the already paid for honeymoon. You know this probably means he’ll return re-married, or at least involved with his ex again.
Violet and Pete went to marriage counseling, and the moment they started making some progress (I.E. stopped being nice in sessions and started fighting), Pete called it quits. He just knew he loved Violet and wanted things to work, but he didn’t need this. Really Pete? Violet, please kick him to the curb. As she told him at one point, he can’t even explain why he left her in the first place. Kick him HARD!
Sam and Jake learned that they both kissed Addison on the same day, and that they don’t who Addison wants anymore. Addison is content with Henry, the man she’s always wanted. Sam and Jake are now bonding over their issues with Addison. Let me roll my eyes here. Really, Sam only wanted Addison back when he thought she gave up on the kid thing. I’m shocked he still wants her back to be honest. I think it’s more out of spite now that he knows Jake is into her.
The show seems to have done very well for ABC last night. The network promoted this in a press release today. For those worried how the show will fare on its new night, it seems to have rebounded from last week. The show “scored season-best retention for ABC in the hour coming out of a “DWTS Results Show.” Last night’s episode also “produced its most-watched telecast in more than 1-1/2 years – since 11/4/10.”
I don’t watch the show, but I found this site after a google search for information.
Several people carry a baby to term even after a fatal diagnosis. There are a variety of reasons, unique to each individual woman. Termination is not the only option, and continuing pregnancy can be wonderfully beautiful.
It’s good to know this topic is getting some attention on primetime TV. Maybe people will start to understand why “she’s still carrying it”.

I think she mentioned it would be too late to terminate. THey could possibly induce labor but it would depend on if her body is ready yet.

As a woman who has miscarried twice (but also has 2 beautiful kids), I completely understand the hatred toward Addison! I had a really hard time dealing with other pregnant women or their new babies.

She decided that she was going to have the baby and give the organs to help other babies. There was an episode where a baby needed an organ transplant and because they didn’t get it they died. That is when she decided that she wanted to do something to help and since her baby didn’t have a brain, she would donate its organs. That is why she’s keeping the baby.
