I always find it disappointing that a pregnant actress usually means a storyline all about the pregnancy. Can't a woman just happen to be pregnant while she goes about her daily life? Teyla hinted that this is normal for Athosians.
I love the movie Fargo because we have a pregnant police chief, but that's not at all what the movie is about. She just happens to be pregnant while solving the case; her whole existence isn't defined by her pregnancy.
It's bad enough when the writers try to handle things with tact, but with the SGA writers who really expects that? So, instead, we get an accidental pregnancy (because Teyla would be irresponsible that way ), a lot of sitting around worrying about 'my people' and 'the father of my child' (because pregnant women are all emotional and passive), Teyla being kidnapped because of her magic child (to get her out of the way and enforce the helpless aspect) and finally a happy reunion with the man she never once said she loved (but all women must stay with the father of their child whether or not they ever intended a lasting relationship beforehand) and all kinds of doubts about going back to work (because all good mothers stay home with the baby).
It's just lovely when a bunch of ill-informed guys try to write about women and pregnancy
