Pregnancies were definitely taboo as the subject of polite conversation (and even in women's diaries). In many pioneer women's diaries, they refer to getting sick, but not mentioning the nature of the sickness, when actually it meant they were about nine months pregnant. Sometimes they would talk about friends becoming sick, and then all we know of the pregnancy is when a baby arrives.
