Yes, I believe they can, but only in a young stage. When bigger, they have to be 'born'.

Yes, but would they have to be born alive?

Oh, Kev. I don't know what to say. I feel so badly for you; you did so well and wanted those babies so bad. I'm so sorry. (((((Kevie)))))

I had two clutches this year that came to early.
No jelly beans, but premature snakes with bik yolks.

There is a lot of possible reasons, over handling may well be one of them.

Since snakes are all individuals, they each handle stress in a different way.
Yes, and I've read here about very experienced members who've had terrible results, with captive born and bred snakes. Is that a result of stress? It doesn't seem likely.
What other factors would cause such disastrous experiences? This is something that I've been wondering about.

Re: gravid question
Stress is a difficult one. It's not always apparent. Different individuals react to stress in different ways, they might appear calm even if they're not.
