I'm not sure if it's still the case, but she used to be the patron of Caesarian sections. Especially DIY ones.... :( Initiates don't have children themselves, but a bit of surgery (hit mother with axe) would seem possible. Though now Babs has split into several deities whose extra names I forget, maybe it's one of them.

Erm.... Voria? Gorgorma? Yelorna? Maran Gor, at a guess? Asrelia? TKT?

Vinga Destor - yes. Orlanth sub-cult. Vingans can get all of them.

Nope. For that, you want the Red Woman sub-cult of Vinga. The Avenger. Page 176. Explicitly gives up her fertility. And once they've taken the Red Vows, they can never regain it.
Or you could have a female Humakti? Though even then, you'd need to pick the Bare Blades philosophy (p106).
