Her womb hungers, and as time passes, her body is increasingly altered to sate that hunger whether she wants to or not. This could include all sorts of changes - simple flexibility and stretchiness, or full-on horror transformation, with grasping tentacles and a gaping maw where her vulva used to be. It's essentially themed around the horror of puberty and intense biological urges, and thereby avoids having a "villain" at all.
Honestly, depending in context on 'how' the womb absorbs/digest. Is it say, "digestive/absorbant walls", or ovaries? Or say, would it go from say; "feeding uterine lining/eggs fruit and vegtables", all the way to living sacrifices? Would their 'conciousness' somehow be squirming/still trapped within the fleshy folds, in an eldritch folding manner?
And that's before you even go on a count on how many lives could have been claimed. "Singular" tragedies, serial killing statistics? Possible if it got that far, a "chance" of outright world unbirth, in existianal horror?
And in another lens, gonna throw a quote on the quote's targeted example...
I just saw this post, and your idea (minus the tentacles/gaping maw) is actually remarkably close to my book The Unbirthing Curse! It's about a woman who is a busy, ambitious young executive, and she gets cursed to become a voracious unbirther. She struggles to fight her new cravings, her body becomes super sexy and voluptuous and when she seduces someone they get addled by her "mommy musk" so they can't resist her. She's never a villain, although when she's overcome with the urge to unbirth she loses control and does things she regrets later. I played it kind of like a werewolf story, where the protagonist is also the monster. It was lots of fun to write!
Might have seen it at one point, on Amazon. If not for budget and justification...
Still, by that summary alone... If it went into serial unbirthing. I'd ramble on possible speculation on "hey, could there have been full regression, into an egg/ovary?" Instead of "just stuck at baby/newborn status." But instead, can't help but think on a possible idea on say... What if the victims, still 'exist' within her? And if they could still squirm/struggle with greater force if say? She's unbirthed ten? A hundred, or even a thousand?
As in say; imagine a thousand cries/babies within her dreams. Unable to escape their eternal 'sanctuary/prison', as they constantly squirm around her being/body, as much as potentially reinforcing her nature as a "mother". And likely have their minds/voices drive their predator insane, after being unable to resist/avoid the urge to "regress/unbirth", or entrap yet another mind, within her overwhelmed mindscape; full of screamingly entrapped voices, slowly losing their own senses of 'self'...
