It depends. If it is a Syrian hamster they grow big over time. Dwarf hamsters are pretty small so they dont grow much (so you cant really tell). Usually you can tell, they are a bit slower (less hyper) anyway they only live for about two years.

None! She can absorb the material back to her body to supply herself with nutrients that her body shared with her babies she was carrying

She will gradually return to normal if she's miscarried wait 3 weeks before breeding her and if there's more than 3 miscarriages in a row don't breed her anymore!

I have read that dwarf hamsters don't actually get wet tail so you should be fairly safe i would consider going to a vet though.
