I too was suffering from the game not loading after having a baby. I did get it to work though!!! Either view vault list then load from there or as the game is loading double tap home button then go back to the app (did it like 3-4 times) until game loaded. Hope that it works for you guys too.
I'm investigating this as a possible bug. However, I have discovered that happiness effects both the rate at whigh women get preganant and the rate at which they give birth. It takes about 2 to 5 minutes to get preganant depending on Happiness. It takes 3 hours to give birth at 100% happiness. The two of mine that have been preganant for longer then that, more than 24 hours, are at 75%. I will be moving them around the Vault to get them into a production room they like so I can get them up to 99% at least and see if that helps.
The only other reason for them not to give birth is living space. However, I built an extra 3 wide Living Quarter and it didn't do anything. So either that wasn't enough, or they are bugged. I have one preganat woman at 100%. If she gives birth it will prove that there is enough space in the Vault and that they are just bugged.
They are buged. I had two women who had not given birth for quite some time. Then in the same shelter I had a new preganant womwn give birth after the usual 3 hours at 100% happiness. We will have to wait for a fix. I also haven't been able to get them above 75% Happiness so that's my next quest to figure out.
Yes, seems to be a bug with the timers. Yesterday, 4 women got pregnant who still won't give birth after 30 something hours. Happiness is about 93-100% ...
Today, I had a new woman pregnant, she gave birth about 3-4 hours later ..
And just to mention it: Yes, there should be more than enough living quarters, water- and food supplies.
For my first pick I had all girls and one guy, who was charismatic. So I had him get all the ladies pregnant to help fill my vault (and get hopefully more males) The last one I got pregnant had her baby first and after 36 hours 4 are still pregnant.
Mine too! I have 2 women that have been pregnant for over 24 hours so they can't work nor can they travel so I can reset their pregnancy timer. They won't work either or leave the vault to scavenge so they literally walk back and forth doing nothing like children.
I'm thinking it might have something to do with timing... I impregnated 2 of them around the same time (~5 min window) and one of them gave birth so I could name one child, but I never got the option to name the other child. I impregnated another lady to see if it would reset the timer or force one to push it at different times, but now both of them have been wandering around for more than a day. I have one lady left in the entire vault before it turns into a sausagefest, all my stats are maxed out and I can fit 10 more habitants in my Vault.

Same bug here, I recently deleted one Living Quarter, this could probably have something to do with it.
Got the same thing over here, restarting would be nice if possible, but I've already spent money on this, got push messages about some babies being born and when I got there nothing happened, I got 23/40 on population so that's not the issue, didn't removed any living quarters, just added more space and upgraded it.
Even if the game is Free to download I think that is absurd letting people use money on a game and making the game impossible to progress with a buggy feature such as this, I don't get any new dwellers even with the radio station and "Three Dog" calling for them... I got this game because I saw it while searching for Fallout 4, and now I'm rethinking about even buying F4.
I have 3 pregnant women who aren't giving birth and my radio station still hasn't acquired one wastelander.
I just got a way to work around this forever pregnant bug while they don't fix it, DO NOT delete your game, go to the vault list and just create another game, play a little then load your previous base again, the babies will be born... about the crashing when having children I can't tell much.
Thanks, it works great. even got my radio to work. Your post should be stickied
*Edit: scratch that, i thought it worked but it was for another character i did after. So no it did not work, but the radio works.
I have a similar issue here ... I have a number of ladies that have been pregnant for days now, while others have given multiple births without a hitch. For me, it seems to be that I destroyed the room where the ladies that refuse to give birth have been impregnated. This was at earlier stages of the game ... now I have 8 ladies that will never give birth. My hope is that their babies mature inside them and burst free into the world at some point in the future
Wonder if they are relation to the Alpine Salamander. 3 years.
Speaking of pregnancy bugs, I foresee one possible bug.
If someone somehow has both Elder Owen and Sarah Lyons celeb dwellers, are they pre-coded with a father/daughter relation? If not, and someone discovers this, things could get... awk-waaaaarrd.
I hope they are able to fix the problem on their end. If we have to wait for an app update to be approved through Apple first, this could be a very pregnant week or so.
This is a pretty hefty bug. Everybody I know that has been playing Fallout Shelter has been afflicted by this pregnancy bug in at least one or two of their vaults. It's extremely common, so I'm staying very positive about a possible fix/update from Bethesda.
