Book Lovers Or Even Readers Help!!!!! ?

I read a book awhile back. It was a 18th-19th century fiction novel. Its aboutva girl who is a whore and her life as one until she gets pregnant. There is a scene in the book i remember of her having been done with a client and her washing out the *** with a particular tool. Thats how they avoided getting pregnant. Well when she finds out she is prgnant she runs. She goes tova differnt place and pretends ro be sombody she is not. I cant remember much. But i do remember there being a name of a bird in the title? Maybe… either that or the word crismon comes to mind. If anyone can help that would be great!
