If God didn’t want us to be able to naturally space our children, He wouldn’t have designed women’s cycles the way he did, nor would childbirth delay the onset of fertility for some time.
Heck, if you want to look at it without God at all, the menstrual cycle is perfectly attuned for both species and individual survival. On the species level, the cycle is “hidden” so that new life can come forth even when it’s not always intended. On the individual level, fertility is delayed by childbirth, disrupted by mild malnutrition and it is possible to monitor fertility to avoid conception if there’s a bad crop, bad economy or some other situation that’s cropped up in the thousands of years of human civilization that would make survival for the mother and rest of the family difficult were she to become pregnant.
