And then there's those Mormons who keep popping out an average of a dozen children each. So if things keep going like they are eventually the only people left populating the planet will be Mormon, and if you'e ever been to Utah, it's not going to be a pretty sight.

... well, I can't think of anything.
If you meet the spacefaring Yehat, you will know that this is not true. It was the Queen and court which gave up, and most Yehat followed, unwillingly. That's why the civil war erupts in the first place, not many are content with the queen, and following her is torture to most of the spacefaring Yehat.
I know that not all the Yehat agreed to the surrender, but I said the "Yehat surrendered" meaning their time as battle thralls would be dishonorable in the eyes of the Shofixti. Argue all you want about whether their civil war would redeem the Yehat's honour in the eyes of the Shofixti or not.

One thing that seems to have been missed, when you have a huge population you tend to have horrible almost unstoppable diseases , influenza, cholera, black plague anyone, which always devastate and thin out populations, Also there was a prediction made decades ago that calculated the future population of earth which could go into the 100's of billions but with one fatal flaw, it didn't account for the fact that food is limited and that limits our population and attempts to increase food production always impact environment which can create other population thinning things such as droughts leading to famines and futher population thining.

Huge populations don't give rise to unstoppable diseases all by themselves. It's the conditions they cause (hygienic and such) that gives the diseases a chance to floursih, and malnutrition, cramped living quarters and so on account for their fast spreading and their lethality. But a civilization that has reached the starfaring stage has probably sorted a lot of this out already, and shouldn't be very vulnerable to this phenomena.
I think we covered the predator thing earlier, again, when a race gets to the spacefaring stage, such predators aren't likely to kep their numbers down very effectively.
As for birth control methods, yes it is certainly a possibility, but we can't know for sure. They might have religious reasons, as some religions here on Earth, cultural reasons, like some nations here on earth, they might not be withspread enough to completely control the population growth, and so on.
