sorry, i still don't think she wanted the baby. yes, she was using the baby as a hostage when she held the knitting needle to her belly, but other times, like when she is looking at pix of her husband, it's obvious she blames/hates the child. and you didn't really offer an alternate explanation for the scene where she looks thru the hole in her knitting, and says "it's beep
if she did want to preserve the life of her baby, it was out of reflex, not any real feeling.imho. -

As crazy as it sounds, I felt more compassion towards La Femme than the pregnant woman. La Femme is def. crazy and she belongs in a padded room, but that didn't make me feel for her any less and the pregnant woman more. The pregnant woman was just almost 100% unlikable. She didn't deserve anything she got, but I still liked La Femme more than the other woman as crazy as that sounds.

I think at the beginning of the film she both did and didn't want her baby. It seemed like she didn't care about much, it hadn't really been long since her husband died, but she was always stroking her belly like she loved it. I think maybe she was scared of what it would be like, with the baby becoming real, outside of herself. They had planned to be parents together (obviously) and facing it aloneBUT I also think that she realized, throughout the ordeal that she did want her baby to live and she did too.

My theory is, she loved Mathew(husband) more than she did to the baby, which was selfish of her, because The baby is Mathew's last gift & she didn't even appreciate it, & she was so filled with depression that she didn't take time to think about the baby, she didn't even set up his room yet, the night before he was born, so to her the baby is just a hassle, & where Le Femme fits in, is that she was in the car wreck, & she was filled with so much anger, that she stalked Sarah the past 4 months, waiting to attack her, well she didn't want to hurt Sarah, she just wanted the baby.
Also, when Sarah was holding up a needle to her baby, she was testing Le Femme,
