In all likelihood, the reference in 1 Timothy 2:15 to being "saved in childbearing" was a reference to the fact that Athenian women believed that the goddess Artemis would save them (ie, prevent them from dying) during childbirth. The verse was meant to assure these women that they should have faith in God rather than Artemis to do this.
1 Timothy 2 in general is loaded with references (which most modern readers do not understand due to a lack of knowledge of ancient pagan culture) to Artemis worship and the necessity for Christian women to give up these practices.
