Ernalda Allmother has the feat "Aid Contraception" as well as "Aid Conception". Ernaldans control their fertility, pregnancy is generally a choice not an accident. Sure there will be cases where a woman decides not to choose or fumbles the magic but reasonably reliable contraception is the only way you can have sexual activity before marriage without a horde of babies born out of wedlock. Vinga has every reason to keep that Ernaldan magic and use it carefully.

And Orlanth never did anything he regretted?
I'm sure Vinga gets into big trouble by getting pregnant, and has to find a way of putting it right.
