[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why didn't Offred say anything when she started bleeding?[/quote]

My impression was that she was hoping to miscarry. When she woke up in the hospital and the baby was still.alive she seemed surprised.[/quote]

I don't think she was hoping to miscarry.  I think she assumed she was miscarrying and that she was delaying telling them because her situation would get very bad if they knew she lost the baby.  If you are miscarrying, there's really nothing they could do.  So if she thought (and given the amount of blood, it would be reasonable) that she was miscarrying, she probably assumed there was nothing they could do.   It's possible she thought that maybe dying by blood loss would be better than what they would do to her once they realized she lost the pregnancy.  I doubt she realized/thought it was a blood clot.

And of course she was surprised when she woke up and realized that she didn't miscarry; that was an epic amount of blood.  She probably assumed the pregnancy was over, but she didn't know what to do because she figured she'd be blamed if she lost the pregnancy.

The director said June was disconnected from her body and mind. I don’t think he lack of action was intentional.  [/quote]
