Since time doesn't flow at the same rate ON the island as it does OFF the island, pregnancy gets out of whack. So, it isn't the pregnancy itself that is fatal to the mothers. Instead, it's the fact that time doesn't... cooperate?

Have they ever said that time flows differently on the island though than regular time? If they did, I missed it b/c I was under the impression that the island still passed time regularly.
