The whole thing just doesn't mesh together right somehow.
But why would Beatrice II bring it up with Rosa? What if she's too embarrassed to ask about it or too ashamed to want to talk about it? What if it never crossed her mind in the couple of hours or however-long she spent with Rosa that Rosa might know something about it? What if she was too busy learning all sorts of other things about the world from Rosa?

I don't find it at all implausible that topics of motherhood and pregnancy would not come up in the relatively brief period of time they spent together.
