That's not what the quote said. It only addressed virginity up to the time of birth, "in Whose Birth His Mother's virginity remained inviolate"

"Remained in birth" indicates "through the duration of the birth", at least in English. There is no other purpose to link virginity and birth otherwise as most women do not enjoy marital relations once the labor begins. If you want to argue that St. Augustine was badly translated, bring your Latin experts.

I don't see where we disagree. Mary remained a virgin through the birth of Jesus. To read more into that is conjecture.
