I think the look on her face said everything. Besides that, she's freaking out and she does not want anyone knowing her situation. She's going to keep as much to herself as possible.
I'm sure if she was in a more stable frame of mind, she would have mailed him an engraved note of thanks, and maybe even some flowers, but, you know, her son was just pulled back from the edge of death during a zombie apocalypse by a veternarian and she's concerned that she might be having the baby of a man who tried to rape her.
But you're right. Formal adherence to conventions of etiquette is important in their situation.

Didn't see it mentioned before but their supply of drinking water is screwed. And wouldn't the infection of one well ruin the others since it's all in the underground water tables?
That would depend on the flow of the water in the underground aquifer. If this well is upstream of the house well, yes, if it's downstream, no. I am pretty surprised though that Maggie's first stop wasn't going back to Hershel to tell him about the well - seems like something that would generally be more concerning than they seem to be making it.
Comic spoiler that ties in with the well...
I'm pretty sure that what the CDC guy told Rick last season was that the virus that makes you a zombie when you die is in all of them already. It's not the getting bit - it's already a done deal no matter how you die. The zombie bite carries some sort of bacteria that does kill you, but there's a completely separate virus that is causing the dead to rise. When Kirkman has talked about dealing with people getting blood all over them from the zombies, this is what he is discussing, since the bacteria that kills you could only be carried through a bite, while the virus might be oozing through the blood - but it wouldn't matter since you already have the virus.
That all ties into the well too - I could see them coming up with some excuse that the water hasn't hurt them because the zombie virus is already in them, and whatever it is about the zombie bite that infects and kills can't be transfered through ingestion. They won't figure that all out now, but I could see it tying in later when they start figuring it out.

IIRC didn't the little girls who were beheaded in the prison, didn't there heads turn into zombies? It would tie into what you're saying about everyone having the virus already.
I finally got a chance to read the first 10 issues.
Boy, Shane sure went out quick. I assume Shane will eventually get shot by Carl, but I'm guessing they're going to make him more hated than he already is before that happens.
They have already made the potential for that moment to be a thousand times more intense than it was in the comic. By the time they actually get to it, it will be insane (and they better; what a waste it will be if they don't).

Yeah, I was completely caught off guard in the comic since it happened so quickly. It just didn't seem like the time was right. It will be amazing once it happens in the show.
It didn't seem that way the first time I read it, but I read it again recently, and since being exposed to the pacing of the show, it had lost all of its potency.

Fixed, and I think she was embarrassed as all hell, and given just about everybody at the camp would've had a clue about what was going on between her and Shane, I don't think it would've been that big a mystery to Glenn, whose baby it was. It was all over his face when he realized what it was at the pharmacy anyway.

Don't confoosed me.
