I am on episode 7. I don’t know if I need to spoil this but anyway:
Can someone please tell me if the loss of the baby will be a recurring theme or event that is referred to repeatedly? Need to know for personal reasons. Thanks in advance.
There are several pregnancies in later episodes.
The baby always survives.
If a friend who had lost a baby asked me this, i’d offer to read the Synopsis of the episode, Sans Baby stuff… but you CAN skip an ep or two. Tho, No, it is not Recurring- as in, forever. Chin up.
i think you’ll love it!
Thanks! Appreciate the responses. Argh, now something else happened that I can’t stand. Maybe I’m just too wimpy.I am so mad at Mary for ruining Edith’s engagement!! Argh. True that Edith was extremely evil to write to the ambassador, but still…I guess her marriage doesn’t happen then? Usually I don’t like things to be spoiled, but I can’t stand all this treachery and deception. I hate stuff like that – when people operate under false assumptions for long periods of time, which cause them great pain, due to other people’s evilness. Is there a lot of that too? I’m thinking about giving up although I love the show otherwise.
It’s kind of part of watching “high society” people in shows like this interact. The idea they’ve got so much time on their hands and the easiest way to add intrigue into their lives is to stab each other in the back and see what happens. Stop being wimpy and keep watching, it’s fiction!
Think of a bunch of modern people with laptops and cell phones sitting around a table for days and weeks at a time and coming up with the stories, maybe that will help you remember this is all just stuff coming out of people’s heads. That’s the fun of it.
Spoilers for seasons one and two:Sir Anthony breaks things off with Edith in season one, and while she patches things up to some extent in season two there are other barriers to their relationship (deliberately being vague here) and they do not become a romantic couple.
However, by early season three…Edith has made it clear to Sir Anthony that she’s still interested. Based on what’s aired in the US so far it looks like they will marry after all, although for all I know there are complications coming in later episodes.
To the OP, suggest you avoid the otherwise wonderful PBS series, “Call the Midwife.” 
I’m not a mother, but I had to stop watching it for reasons you hint at. There were equal measures of joy and sadness, but too much sadness for me…and too poignant. I taped a bunch of episodes and then wound up deleting them in one fell swoop, knowing I would not be able to make myself watch them. Carry on.
It’s very, very good; we’re in the middle of watching it now.
But it’s reduced my grown husband to tears more than once.
Thanks alphaboi, **St.Barthgirl **, SeaDragonTattoo, and Lamia, quite helpful. I am going to stick with the show. I guess I need to find/buy Season 2. Season 1 was on Netflix but Season 2 is not. Thanks also, ThelmaLou and Savannah - I will be giving Call the Midwife a very large berth such that we never end up in the same room together.
