At the beginning of the movie, Tessa is raped, tortured, and killed. We don't see any of it happen on-screen, but we see glimpses of her body afterward, and other characters discuss it.

No, although at one point a man makes a comment to a woman "If you were my wife, I'd tie you to the bed," over her perceived risk-taking while pregnant.

Not actually clear whether the baby was stillborn or born alive then died shortly thereafter. Either way, it's one to avoid if you're sensitive to this.

Tessa is heavily pregnant for much of the first half of the movie. We see her nursing a baby and there are a few other scenes with people carrying a baby.
