Backstory: I spent a year backpacking and I called my mum all excited about a great guy I met. This was part of her response.

I had a dream last night about you and babies! Which prompts me to STRESS that now that you are a Loose Woman you absolutely don’t want, or should I say I don’t want you to become a surprised statistic. You know the ones that never think it can happen to them and then finds themselves pregnant. In this day and age there is no reason for that to happen.

I think it would be a good time to get onto the pill, and the added benefit is that your periods become less! Yippee! A good effect.
