Why don't my female dwellers give birth to children?
I am playing Fallout Shelter on my IPad. There were some women who have already gave birth, but two female dwellers are carrying their babies for about 18(!) hours. I know that this process takes three hours, so this is not normal. What do I do?
Best Answer
Do you have many dead people in your vault?
Due to the fact, that a dead dweller can be revived even 24 hours after his dead, you cannot get above the limit with a new born child.
Just an example of that what I mean:
- Your vault maximum is 38 dwellers.
- You have 30 alive dwellers, 8 dead dwellers and 2 pregnant dwellers
- If the birth would happen, you would have 32 alive dwellers (of which are 0 pregnant and 2 children). You would have 6 dwellers left to your maximum capacity.
- If you would revive all of the 8 dead dwellers, you would have 40 out of 38 allowed dwellers.
Maybe this gives you a hint and maybe this is your case too.
The idea of the dead father won't work. I have also some new born which had a dead father. The icon of the father was just a grave, but it was found. The birth take place and everything else was normal. But well, it still could be a rare bug.

How do you get dwellers to have kids?
Two Dwellers will decide to embark on a romantic snuggle if you place a male and a female together in the Living Quarters room. After a few minutes of small talk, cheesy pickup lines and awkward, musicless dancing, they'll run off to the back room and return soon after, the female now with child.How long are female dwellers pregnant?
Pregnancies last for three hours, and it takes three additional hours for the child to become an adult. During an incident, pregnant dwellers, children, and pets will hide in living rooms until the threat is cleared.Do outfits affect breeding fallout shelter?
Yeah, it does. Dwellers levels don't affect breeding in any way, no inheritance of any kind. Even hair color affects the offspring, but level does not. But you're right - outfits and weapons and pets(except pets exclusive for pregnancy) don't have any effect.More answers regarding why don't my female dwellers give birth to children?
Answer 2
Its probably because the father of the unborn baby is dead.
When the baby becomes born, the father cannot be found to be listed, so the game doesn't progress to prevent a crash.
