She also has never been pregnant. There's something that a character in that book does while pregnant, and in a book discussion I participated in sometime before I got pregnant, someone who *had* borne a child or two pointed out that that rang false, and I remember sometime during my first pregnancy thinking about it and yeah, *I* might have done it while not pregnant, but sure as heck not *during* a pregnancy. (Now I've forgotten what it was, I just remember the reactions. I do that sometimes -- forget what the detail *was*, but remember the reaction.)

Have you read the sequal?
