Hunger and thirst alone probably won't cut it, unless of course she starves to death. You might need to factor in a few other things like miasma and perhaps a non lethal upright spear trap or two.

I can confirm that dehydration will indeed cause a miscarriage. I was too slow to install a well in my current fort and ran out of booze for a while so there were several miscarriages through the winter.

I can confirm that being either "Starving" or "Dehydrated" for even a single tick will cause a miscarriage, and I can even point you at the exact place it happens in a disassembly (at least for the Windows binary).

I had a fort where every married female was routinely locked in a special starvation spa via military scheduling every 6 months... so exactly what you mean. It was tricky, since they all eat/starve at different times (though it got semi-synchronized after the first "girls' night month out") and there was of course a loss of productivity. You really would be better off just changing the child cap, though, as it's not really that useful, except for lulz.

Edit: Special starvation spy.

It's a safe way to induce the "doesn't care about anything anymore" trait, but I much prefer "attacked by the dead" for that purpose. Dwarf zombies will do the trick (though only in melee, IIRC). Though if you want to do it very safely, I guess killing pets is the best way. In my experience, military tend to get the trait pretty much automatically just after a few battles and a few casualties... Helps to prevent tantrum spirals. I haven't had a proper spiral in a while.

Did she become a vampire after she got pregnant? You'd probably have had to do this deliberately; it's hard to spread accidentally.

if you don't jail females that have a non vampire husband and have just been vampirized and just let them feed, will they give birth? what will the child be?

Child will most likely be half vampire vampire hunter with the ability to detect other vampires called Blade Short Sword. Because he is short.
