How do I´ve set castes to stop certain sims from getting pregnant?
Some of my towns lack of genetic diversion meanwhile, because it´s always the same 2 or 3 families getting babies (and surprisingly they don´t even have the family-oriented trait) whereas some others (some of them have the trait) won´t have any children at all. And it doesn´t matter if they live in a house without cribs and enough beds, they just give birth if I don´t end their pregnancy.
And how can I set castes to show pregnant sims when looking for demographics in MC?
TIA
A way to stop certain sims from getting pregnant?

I have to admit the SP options can be a bit confusing until you get used to them. Under Sim, Household, Caste, Town Options,
Pregnancy: Allow Can Be Pregnant doesn't necessarily stop pregnancies from forming in other ways outside of SP, but on False prevents sims from being pregnant. That means once SP "notices" a pregnant sim with this setting on false, it will quietly terminate the pregnancy.
Pregnancy:Allow Participation is stronger and on False should be acting to make that sim sterile as a potential mother or father (or in the case of same gender I should say baby carrier or sire) even if Woohooer is in play.
Pregnancy:Allow Can Be Pregnant Caste and Allow Participation Caste do the same things, except they allow or disallow whom the other parent can be in each case.
If you don't want that but want to selectively reduce the desire for these sims to have babies subject to adjustment for trait scoring, that would be Pregnancy:Base Number of Children (default is 3). That's not a forceful way to inhibit pregnancies at all though, especially if your world is under the designated population cap as set under General Options > Options:Sims.
Pregnancy:Max Number of Children (default 0, which means no cap) is a little stronger, but only covers planned pregnancies and there can still be oopsies happening.
The number of cribs/beds has no bearing on pregnancies under SP, only the household size cap does. The beds/cribs can subsequently cause home inspection failures and can cause households to look for more suitable accommodations if they have the funds and any or available (they will stay put if not), and can prevent them from moving into a new to them home that doesn't have enough of these, but it's not part of the biological process of conception. I think Awesome handles this differently, so some players who have used that in the past think that SP takes furniture into account in the same way but it does not.
Pregnant is a MC filter option under Type of Sim. I kept getting extraneous results using that one (pets, foreign sims) long ago so at the time I set up a custom MC filter called "Preggers" or something like that to account for sims who are human (not animal), local residents, and pregnant.

Thanks for the info igazor, but: I´ve disabled pregnancy through SP like you suggested, my SP isn´t linked to whoohooer, but one of my active couple just managed to get pregnant without my will and another inactive couple has managed this as well, although I´ve disabled either Allow Participation and Allow can be pregnant! (And I´ve set a sim limit to the town which is now overstepped by 3 babies) I think my sims must love babies so much that they completely ignore me!
But according to search for pregnant sims: If I search in demographics, I can see that someone is pregnant, but not who! So how can I find out who is pregnant in a more easy way than now? ( I go into town view and look at the map tags of the residents)
