It's all based on random numbers so I'm guessing the random number generator was SMILING on your couples that day. I could see this happening if you are fairly new to the mod as the older Sims get without having children, the higher the odds are that they will get pregnant. So, if you have a lot of eligible Sims that haven't had babies before, their odds to do so would be pretty high in an existing neighborhood.
Honestly, I've never seen that big of a hit all at once. Normally, it's only 2 or 3 for me. You did the right thing with your adjusted settings:
"Pregnancy_PercentAdjustment": -95. That will pretty much guarantee you will not have any pregnancies until you change it. I like -15 to -20 myself as I prefer to not have overwhelming pregnancies and then I use the "Mark for Pregnancy" and "Pregnancy Start" to be a little more hands-on.
The rest of your settings look fine and should not have added a high percentage to your chances of having babies, really. Lowering the total number of MaxHouseholdChildren will decrease the number you have over time.
The complaint I was hearing most of the time, prior to version 1.0.6, was that people were not having ENOUGH pregnancies and wanted some way to make more. A positive "Pregnancy_PercentAdjustment" setting will make that happen.
After the stork recovers in a few Sim days when 19 mothers all conceive at exactly the same time, you can try making adjustments to the percent upward until you find the number that you prefer.
As far as being homeless, only Sims living on lots with houses should EVER get pregnant. There are specific limitations to not allow a "homeless" family not living on a lot from getting pregnant as this can cause exceptions when the baby is born.
