The show addressed Adalind not using birth control with one line to Nick - that she didn’t know she could get pregnant during the spell. I didn’t take that as indicating she was too preoccupied to consider unintended pregnancy, but rather, was incorrectly confident there wasn’t a risk of pregnancy.
As for Juliette’s leap to the dark side - G & K wanted a lickety-split transition that moved Juliette into the bad guy camp and Adalind into the good guy camp, and weren’t interested in providing explanations. They didn’t even bother using the high risk reversal spell to clarify why Juliette was so adamant the relationship wouldn’t work or turned against Nick and their friends in the blink of an eye. Their goal was to make Juliette the S4 finale big bad and open a path to Nick/Adalind in S5. The why, how, what, when, where, as well as keeping with characterization, weren’t important to their drama driven action finale.
