Are you implying that the pregnancy condition occurred onboard?
Yes. Sex isn’t allowed on the ISS due to complications with pregnancy, but it’s not crazy to imagine that maybe they just did it anyway. (Who wouldn’t want to? It’s sex in space and it sounds amazing.)
It's great we can bring them down. What a terrifying experience to have a medical issue on the space station. Kidney stone? Ruptured appendix? intestinal blockage? How could you keep calm so far away!
There's dozens upon dozens of professions where things go wrong infinitely faster than they do in medical situations.

Maximum operating depth of a Nuclear submarine is 3,350 ft.
Source? The operating depth of most submarines is ~300 -- 500m (980 -- 1640 ft), roughly one-third to one-half the depth you cite. The two USN nuclear submarines lost due to pressure-hull failures, the Thresher (1963) and Scorpion (1968) both failed at depths of 1,200 to 2,000 ft. Threser 's test depth was 1,300 ft (400m), and she was operating at about this depth when communications were lost. Scorpion likely failed…
Also misspelled "Thresher" above. Proof befor submitting, dred.

Pregnancy?
This is what I keep thinking. - Theres a 38 year old woman in the crew - It’s a medical condition that likely wasn’t present when the mission started 4 months ago - It’s serious enough to return the crew, but not serious enough that they must do so immediately I guess we’ll find out in 9 months? (Or not…)

There are probably a hundred ailments or illnesses that can fit this description, maybe someone noticed a swollen lymph node or lump somewhere

This is the reason I cringe every time I hear or read statements like “we went to the moon”, “we’ve split the atom”, “we developed antibiotics”, … No, we didn’t. A few who are not like us did.
Not really, no. The point of the "we" is too highlight the incredible collective effort which was required from all these massive endeavors. It goes all the way from the steel cool astronaut to the great machinists which had to build the parts. I think it's one of the greatest benefits of ever working on a massive industrial project. You quickly realize how incredibly complex these things are and how utterly powerles…
