 Why have Sally pregnant just to lose the baby?  CH's emmy reel no doubt.

[DRW50]

I'm sorry but that just comes across as so crass to me to throw into a promo, especially at a time when many women live in states where their lives are more and more at risk during pregnancies.

I agree. Why should anyone tune in? 

Crass.

From what I saw of this storyline, the entire thing just didn’t sit well with me. Maybe it was due to me just hearing about the U.S. Olympic track star Tori Bowe having died alone in her apartment after going into labor at eight month in her apartment. And the issue of infant and maternal mortality being especially high among Black women in the U.S.

This storyline felt rushed and it seemed like it was in service to the Adam, Sally and Nick triangle than anything else. More like a plot device.
On the heels of her emergency hospitalization, the writing had Sally flout the advice meant to stabilize the health of her and her baby and most viewers will be discussing that, rather than the actual loss. Also, it’s ridiculous that the choice came down to Adam to decide what happened to Sally and the baby. Do the doctors have no agency? Were no health directives discussed between Sally and her OB-GYN, knowing that Sally was already at risk? There were so many ill used story devices and plot holes, it cheapened the story imo. I know it’s probably meant to be some sort of Emmy fodder but it just didn’t seem to be very thoughtful.
