2nd re-watch: Question regarding her pregnancy at the end.


So the 1st time I watched it in the cinema when it was released, and to be honest I was really hooked. Obviously there may be flaws and lots of coincidences in terms of how nearly perfect her disapearance (in real life I am

Just to confirm - her pregnancy at the end. That would be her ex bf's child, correct (the one she killed)? I thought she couldn't get pregnant though - something was mentioned about the fertility clinic in the earlier part of the movie.

It was never said that she wasn't able to get pregnant. Just that they had Nick's sample at the clinic and she got it.

reply

It's her ex-boyfriend's baby indeed. Seconds before she slashed his throat he came inside her.

It's very obvious.

Nothing is what is seems

reply

Ummm, no. It's Nick's baby. Remember, they got the letter from the fertility clinic that Nick's sample would be discarded. It's very heavily implied that Amy took it and impregnated herself with it.


I don't want the world. I just want your half.

She was never pregnant. She took the pregnant "idiot"'s urine in order to make people believe that she was pregnant and so suggest a motive for Nick's murder of her.

You're thinking of the first of the two times she said she was pregnant. The first time she wasn't pregnant so she had to steal a pregnant woman's urine to fake it. The second time is at the end - the gift she gave Nick just before their interview was a used pregnancy test.

Yes, the second time had to be via the ex-BF whom she slaughtered.

In that scene between Nick and his twin sister, he tells her that the baby might be his. Others posting on this thread said that it could be his sperm from the fertility clinic that his wife picked up and used on herself.

What did you see or hear that leads you to believe it is definitely the sperm of the man she killed?

I'm doubting it could be the sperm of the man she killed for a few reasons. That sex scene with him was a few seconds long - LOL, really? Even a premature ejaculator lasts longer than that, right? And, the whole point of killing that man was to get rid of him so having his baby wouldn't fit that goal. She is fully aware that a DNA test can be done and under the circumstances, will be done, so it makes sense that she used her husband's sperm. She knows him so well and understands that having his baby is a way to keep him tied to her.

But, those are all guesses. Just wondering what definitive proof you saw or heard that I missed.

I'll have to watch it again to see about the sperm donor thing.

It's Nick's baby. She kept his sperm from the fertility clinic.
