When a dweller levels up, what actually changes? My thought at first was that they gain increased HP, but after reading this answer I noticed that HP seems to be controlled by Endurance.

In addition to what's already been mentioned, it is possible to be both pregnant and working in the radio studio. Other comparisons:
- Pregnant women cannot defend against fire, radroaches, or raiders, so if you have 50% of your vault pregnant, you are very vulnerable.
- Children consume resources while they are growing up without contributing to the vault. Having fourteen kids around will drain you dry. Dwellers attracted by the radio are ready to work as soon as they arrive.
- In true Bethesda style, I don't think children can be killed, which means that a bad raider attack could leave you with a vault of just kids, fun.
Dwellers will not automatically heal any radiation damage they've taken. Radiation damage is indicated by the red section of their health bar:
To heal radiation damage, you need to build a science lab and staff it to make radaway packs. Once you have a radaway, select a dweller with a red section in their health bar, then click on the radaway icon in the info tab.
The stimpack icon is the button on the right, below the SPECIAL scores.
If you're wondering how your dwellers took radiation damage, your water level probably went lower than what is required to keep your vault running normally (indicated by the vertical line that appears on your water resource bar). If your water level falls to the left of that bar, everyone in your vault will slowly take radiation damage from radioactive water.
Also, I want to clear up a misconception in the question: Dwellers naturally heal non-radiation damage, regardless of whether or not you have a medbay. The medbay allows you to make stimpacks, which you can use to heal dwellers manually. To do that, select a dweller with a black section in their health bar, then click on the stimpack icon in the info tab. The stimpack icon is the button on the left, below the SPECIAL scores.

Well, the game's own wiki says levelling up a dweller actually increases his health points and since there's no way to actually check how many health points a dweller has before and after levelling up, I'm just gonna trust the wiki :)
Also the wiki says the endurance will help a dweller survive more in the wasteland... this can be reflected by him having more health points or by him just being less prone to lose health points (so even though 2 dwellers have the same number of health points, the one with better endurance loses less health points when fight a rat, a scorpion or something like that)
TL/DR: Levelling up increases health points, Endurance makes dweller lose less health points when fights a monster.
