Before the babies are born, the male spider mates with the female. Afterwards, usually since females are bigger than males, females then eat them. Some clever male Spiders give the female a present, such as food, to keep her occupied long enough for them to escape and live.

Depends entirely on the species. The mother wolf spider will carry the young on her back until they are ready to disperse - the children are very hungry and cannibalistic when they are born so she must take care to let them off at different locations. Others may feed on some of their young as they hatch, but for the most part, spidelings will hatch and spread out in different directions.

Usually, the mother spider gets eaten by the babies as the babies' first meal. It is a deadly sacrifice as being a mother.

New born spiders do not eat their mothers. Some spider mothers die after laying her eggs in the egg sac.

Some do, but not many. Usually, after a few days, the little spiderlings then eat their mother as their first meal, then turn to eating their weaker siblings.
