  1. 1

    How does the child’s birth impact Nina?

    In scene 1, Nina loses patience with her baby: “Holy sh*t, don’t shake the baby. I’m such a f*cking - (she puts the baby over her shoulder.) Mommy didn’t mean that, Mommy wasn’t shaking you, Mommy was… vibrating you.” Manifestly, the baby’s shrieks are upsetting for Nina for mislays her composure to the extent of shaking the baby viciously. Nina’s contentions mirror those of beginner mothers who find it problematic to terminate their babies’ unremitting yells.

    How does delivery of the baby affect the couple’s sex life?

    The couple’s sex life is alluded to in the following conversation:

    Miles: “Nina, I’ve been keeping it all to myself here for the past four months.”

    Nina. “I can’t believe I just told you everything I have to do tonight and you want to have sex?”

    Manifestly, Miles craves coitus which they have not had for four months whereas Nina is disinterested. For Nina, intimacy is no longer a requisite; hence, she would rather presume her job. Obviously, baby alters the couples’ intimate primacies.
