Not on screen, but Ana describes the sexual assault that led to her pregnancy a little over halfway in the movie, when her and Janis are walking around the cemetery. It's not seen, but detailed.

Yes, Anita the baby dies over the course of the film. Not seen, it's a revelation later in the second act that it happened in the past. We don't see it but it's discussed a lot and a major plot point.

About 1 hour and 38 minutes in, when Ana leaves with Cecilia, Janis (Penelope Cruz) runs to the bathroom and pukes. Basically once Ana and Cecilia get on the elevator prep for it because it's a quick cut. It's a super small moment, no visuals just sound and it's over very quickly.

There are multiple scenes of DNA being taken through swabs of saliva. No loogies or anything though.

Not a ton, the babies in this movie are super quiet and sweet. There's an occasional cry or gurgle from them because they're around the whole film but no big moments of crying.

There are a few tame sex scenes that cut away quickly and no major nudity.
