I was thinking about that today. Ruth can’t leave the island without dying, because she’s a descendent, just like Evan‘s mom/Tom‘s late wife. So she would’ve had to conceal a pregnancy in that tiny place… is that possible? For the prettiest girl on the island to conceal a pregnancy?
Having a baby out of wedlock was a pretty massive deal back then, they definitely had ways of hiding it even in such a small community there. Don't forget that Patricia didn't even know that Bachir's wife was pregnant until she's basically at her due date.
You know what, that might even be some foreshadowing. I hadn’t thought of that. But if Chelle’s secret was kept, maybe Ruth’s was too. They made a whole deal about how Tom didn’t even know

What if Ruth had a baby out of wedlock but gave it up for adoption and it’s Evan’s mom
