Terrible for the father to have to endure this situation again.

[Lelo.Machaka]

That man has been so strong and the fact that he’s been there for her through this is amazing

[KeepAnEyeOnDan]

This is so so sad. The unimaginable grief of losing a child, especially if you feel responsible

[CowFairy]

I love how Dr. Charles is just like: 'Yup Ma'am, we're gonna take excellent care of your totally real, not a doll baby.'

[Disteh]

The role playing is very therapeutic for the mom to say goodbye to her baby

[ChrissyWhispers]

Dr Charles is so tender… he’s definitely my fav. My heart breaks at the point at the end when she’s finally saying goodbye to her baby and seeing her cry… so hard

As a mother of a stillborn (39 weeks pregnant) I can relate to the mother at some point.
I went through a difficult time but I think, a reborn baby would make it even worse for one mental health.

I’ve watched this episode before, and rewatching it now hits like a tank having had my very young mother pass on abruptly, I never got to say goodbye. And while it’s not an identical experience, I still feel with the mom and anyone else who’s gone through this <33

Oh my gosh. What an episode. And having the father relive all that was brutal. As always superb story.

At where I work, there was a pregnant woman who had a terrible car accident and she had bleeding in her abdomen. After surgery the mother was doing somewhat okay and regained her consciousness, but the baby was not in a good condition. He had like massive bleeding in his brain and severe brain hypoxia. The doctors said he wouldn’t make it. The mother asked to hold her baby for the first and last time. We transferred the baby with all the equipment from NICU to SICU to his mother so they can have a brief moment together. A very sad day for all the staffs.

it must be heartbreaking for the dad to relive the trauma, but i get how it could help the mum say goodbye properly.

Dr. Charles belongs in a fairytale. The way he always assure mentally struggling patients and showing that he is believing in them, that require so much patience.

[KatLuff]

The actor playing the ex-husband does such a good job playing someone who is NOT an actor, awkwardly acting his way thru this scenario where he has to pretend all this is really happening.

I got two reborn dolls as a little kid, they were so nice to play with, especially because I played nicely with dolls generally. I still have them, they're super cute. Sometimes i take them out and hug them when I'm going through my childhood toys and they make me feel like a child again

[akitoherinton]

As an adult who has a baby doll that goes everywhere with me, I've seen many different reactions to having her with me. And personally, I'm quite impressed with how the doctors there handled the situation even before knowing exactly what was going on. They didnt just kick her out, they actually tried to help. So. Good on them.

Incase anyone was wondering why I have my baby doll, I have autism. As well as a few other things that we know are there but they haven't been officially diagnosed yet. My baby helps with communication, she helps with staying calm especially in shopping centres and cars and stuff like that where it can get extremely overstimulating. And she provides a little bit of companionship, I guess? I think it's also related to early childhood trauma that I got. Unlike the lady in this video, I know my baby isn't real. But she wears real baby clothes and she has her own personality and if she gets hurt I get upset. Stuff like that. So.. she's real to me, even though I know she isn't technically alive.

Now, please don't reply to this with anything negative, I get enough of that just leaving my house with baby. I'm only posting this to say my opinion on the video, and explain why I have that opinion so that people understand. If you don't like it, just leave me alone..

✨I wish drs were paid enough and had enough time with people to care as much as they have 💞✨

[kodileigh]

They are freakishly real looking. I once picked up a reborn for a friend in my car and the whole way home I freaked out “what if a cop sees a baby laying in the passengers seat?!?”

[rohinkuruvath]

As a Dr aspiring to be a psychiatrist, i love how all the rarest of the psychiatrist diseases come in this show.
Gives me an idea on how to approach patients like these if i come into contact with them even if its 1 in a million possibility for that to happen

[mk_wizard]

So tragic. To have to relive the worst moment of your life twice even if only in your head.

[Bigbaymonstermare]

One thing that struck me is the fact that new mothers fear that scenario. Dropping our babies. We stay awake watching them breathe. I don’t know a new mom that hasn’t had thoughts of “what if” in the really early days and been frightened of hurting their baby all the while feeling such an over abundance of love and protection for them.
