“...My mom told me condoms, pills and other birth control stuff is what you do to “stop a baby from happening”...”
Your Mom was not quite correct; it’s possible the pill can cause an abortion:

I’m sure that can happen-I’d read about it even back then-but in my case mom was certainly correct-I took the pill for the 1st 6 months after my marriage-had no problems with it, but my husband and I were committed to a natural lifestyle, so I began using drug free methods from then on-the pill was the last time I used any prescription drug-I very seldom even use OTC stuff...
