What happened to female indentured servants when they got pregnant in the tobacco colonies of the Chesapeake in the seventeenth century?

In the tobacco colonies of the Chesapeake during the seventeenth century, if female indentured servants became pregnant, the consequences were often severe. They could face extended periods of servitude, as their contracts might be lengthened to account for the time lost during childbirth and caring for the child.

Laws against smuggling were difficult to enforce in the seventeenth and eighteenth century due to the vast coastlines that needed to be monitored, corrupt officials who could be easily bribed, the involvement of local communities who often supported smugglers, and the lack of resources and manpower dedicated to policing the trade. Smugglers were also adept at using clandestine methods to evade authorities, making it challenging to catch them in the act.
