Why didn't the Weasleys have a house elf?

Why did the Weasleys stay at Grimmauld Place?

Harry goes to 12 Grimmauld Place after the dementor incident to find that the Weasley children and Hermione have been living there along with the Order.

Do house-elves have babies?

Breed them once a generation for your next house elf, perhaps the babies stay with the mother or perhaps the baby just goes with the new master family and is raised by their current house elf. So a house-elf's loyalty is not to the house, nor to the inhabitants of it, but to its (his/her) master family.

Why does Dobby still wear a pillowcase?

16 DOBBY SPOKE IN FIRST PERSON IN DEATHLY HALLOWS

It was also an interesting decision by director David Yates. In the movies, the idea of the House-elves rising up behind the support of Hermione was mostly glossed over. That might be why Dobby still wore the pillowcase in Deathly Hallows instead of real clothes.

How do girls deal with periods in Hogwarts?

They're wizards so I can very well imagine enchanted underwear or something like that (similar to warmth spells on coats) to absorb and make the blood disappear. Or maybe they have cloths (used to bea thing before disposable pads were invented).
