Why pregnant women die on the island.
Written 24th March
If you watched the “enhanced” version of the season 5 finale, the pop-ups will have told you that the Tawaret statue represents Tawaret, the goddess of fertility. My theory is that when that statue went down, it messed with something on the island, causing pregnant women to die on the island (Sorry if someone else has already posted this theory!).

Explain Claire? Danielle Rosseau?
They both later become insane or infected to.
I was thinking what if….?
The Statue of Tawaret is corrupted by evil/devil. Maybe Jacob has something to do with living under the statue. Maybe Jacob is bad.
Neither Claire or Danielle conceived on the island, and thats why they were able to give birth.
But Sun did conceive on the island and the statue was already broken at the time of Ji Yeon’s conception. So, how does that work then? If you’re going to say Ji Yeon was born because Sun left the island..then the statue being broken really can’t be proven to affect births because we’ve never seen a full 9 month pregnancy play out on the show. We just take what Juliet says as the truth.
Additionally, if a fertility statue were broken, I would assume women couldn’t conceive in the first place because the womb has to be fertile for the seed to be well-received. (ew..lol) Broken statue should mean unfertile women on the island.
