Pregnancy Issues
Pregnancy Issues
The women among the Others suffer from degeneration of their reproductive systems. The condition was described as causing the reproductive system of a woman in her 20s to look like those of a woman in her 70s.
Juliet, a fertility researcher, was brought to the Island because she had discovered an effective treatment that allows women with damaged reproductive systems to become pregnant. On the island she began researching another condition where women's bodies had immune reaction against the fetus leading to the death of both early in pregnancy.
After the deaths of several volunteers among the Others, including Sabine, Juliet developed a theory that whatever went wrong in the pregnancy might be occurring at conception. She asked Ben if she could take a woman off the Island as a control case to test the theory, but he refused to allow anyone to leave the Island. Claire, who arrived on the island pregnant, became their control case.
Juliet has gathered data on Sun's pregnancy. She is also attempting to gather information on other women among the crash survivors including specifically Kate.
The nature of the fertility and pregnancy problems on the island has not been revealed. When these conditions emerged on the Island is also unknown.
This is the info I found on Lostpedia about pregnacy issues on the island..
