Sinbad said:I took it as an accident too either by a broken condom or ineffectual anti birth medication. It could also just have happened because they were grieving so much in a moment of madness. Yes they were trying to just stay alive but it's human instinct to procreate even in their dire circumstance it would become 'everyday' to face the alien threat at some point.
With the understanding that people all grieve differently, I speak with at least some background in this matter, since my wife and I lost our first daughter and had to make the very difficult decision to try again. The idea that you would purposely do it in a world where you cannot have a baby (really, it will never make a sound that can be heard?) is madness.
I don't hink not having the pregnancy explained in some clunky exposition scene with the daughter/husband had a detrimental effect on the film, in every other way they handled things intelligently so it was fair to assume it was a slip up of some kind.
Unfortunately I don't agree that they handled everything else intelligently.
