I've always thought of Ulerians as never having kids unless they wanted to.
Asside from the pleasurable aspects of visiting a Ulerian, I've thought that one worshiped there to become more fertile. Almost as if the initate/devotee transfers some of his/her fertility to the worshiper. This would be common for those who wish to have kids _now_. Political alliances, people who have to leave for a while, just before an execution, a woman trying to join Ernalda the Mother ASAP, etc.
This means that I think the Fertility affinity would look like
Fertility (Increase Human Fertility, Increase Animal Fertility, Increase Crop Fertility, Cure Impotence)
I don't see the need for "Bear Child" as that is an aspect of Get Pregnant (or Increase X Fertility as I phrased it). And I don't think a feat is needed for Restist Pregnancy. It just kinda works out that way, kinda like with Babs Gor.
Also, don't think exculusively about humans. There is more to fertility
than just that. The "Regular Folk"

Am I the only one who thinks that a Wedding Gift of a trip to the Ulerian temple is a common thing for those who can afford it? Either as a Bachelor's Party, or more likely a how-to class for the new couple.
