[*] Note: Reportedly, Jedi are allowed to have sex, but not to conceive children. It is established that accidental pregnancies can happen, even to Jedi, so if Jedi are forbidden to conceive children then they clearly must not be told to rely on fallible birth control.

I don't want to get into specifics, but...couldn't they just use the force for birth control?

Evidently not, unless Anakin got Padmé pregnant on purpose. Considering how upset Padmé was upon discovering that she was pregnant, he would have to have done so without her knowledge or consent. I.e., there are two possibilities:

1) Force-as-birth-control is not completely reliable, and the pregnancy was an accident.

2) Anakin wanted Padmé to get pregnant and tricked her into it with the Jedi equivalent of poking a hole in the condom.
