MJK pregnancy

[Bridewell]

It has been stated that Dr Bond's report showed that Mary Jane was not pregnant but in fact it doesn't say, one way or another.

It says very specifically "Not Gravid".

There's a lot of over-reaction and misinformation when it comes to the subject of Mary Kelly having a child. Critics keep resorting to the "so-and-so would have mentioned it" argument.

It doesn't make them wrong. It's just a case of trying hard to make your case.

I've often wondered, assuming that various stories about Mary being pregnant are true (do we have confirmation of this?), if the enlarged state of the uterus could have affected Jack in some way? ... and perhaps caused him to take the heart instead? Long shot I know

I think this is a sensible theory. Any possible divergence from the pattern must be explained.

My own explanation, expressed on another thread, was that he didn't take the uterus from the room because she'd born him a child, and that is what "affected him. Not impossible.

The heart could have been burned in the grate at Miller's Court, for all we know. It has been stated that Dr Bond's report showed that Mary Jane was not pregnant but in fact it doesn't say, one way or another.

And I think that the Drs may have noticed at the postmortem, and it is open to debate if the heart was taken from Miller's Court.

Haha, ok!

NO

if the enlarged state of the uterus could have affected Jack in some way? If she were in fact pregnant, could that have thrown him off and perhaps caused him to take the heart instead? Long shot I know
