Something is definitely broken. I'm not sure what's causing it, but I am guessing if you sleep too early too often (did one play through with regular sleep only), it somehow triggers the high stress events, forcing the player to be stuck in a perpetual sleep cycle.

Regarding update, the stress system is easily manageable. However, I did notice that you can take a bath and then take a shower, which double stacks the stress reductions. Furthermore, unless the time of day is late night, the lazing around option is still available despite being night time. I imagine this is another exploit to choose "laze around" instead of "go to sleep," which further decreases stress stacks.
While mucking around with the stress, I noticed that at the "Feeling fine" level around 18-20 weeks, all of a sudden the player will be stuck in the endless loop of sleeping in to reduce stress. I figured feeling fine was a middle ground and not to the point of dangerous levels, but this did not seem to be the case. And this spiraled into an endless loop of stress not reducing despite sleeping in, and even when entering pre-term labor at 30 weeks, the hospital selection was not working. This eventually ended with a gameover due to no income.
Overall it's a nice addition. The more real-life sim elements are introduced, the more interesting the process is. After all, the pregnancy is about the process and progression, and I am a sucker for highly-detailed descriptors.
Beth's progression now makes a bit more sense as well, with her attitude towards the player changing after the second pregnancy onward.
Note regarding Beth. I recall in the pregmod for Cursed, she was able to get pregnant multiple times throughout a playthrough, with the same roulette for carrying multiples. Not sure if this has been implemented yet, or if the only time she gets pregnant alongside the player is for the 1st or 2nd pregnancy.
Is the itch.io page the best way top make bug reports? Or discord/DM?
Note, for faster testing, I've resorted to "have a lazy day" to skip days without working. So not sure if not paying rent will have an impact.
Regarding the clothing descriptions, not sure if it's a bug or passages have not been written, but once PC is pregnant with multiples the descriptors default to "largest size" with associated clothing. Doesn't matter what stage of pregnancy. On occasion the descriptors also persist through the next pregnancy, and it only resets if player is pregnant with a singleton again. Haven't been able to reproduce this.For surrogacy stipend, the numerical value wasn't working until I refreshed the browser page. The money was still being added, just not being updated. Will keep an eye on this one.
Encountered a bug after birthing triplets and going through another surrogacy right after (possibly with triplets again). The morning wake-up descriptors were locked at overdue with triplets. All subsequent midwife visits starting from first 8 week appointment showed the 43 weeks pregnant with triplets scene. Eventually gave birth at around 45-46 weeks, and there was no birth scene. It only resulted in "From this pregnancy you earned a bonus of 0."
Also will there be local saves enabled?
