Birth is a very natural process that has sadly been disrupted by modern medicine. In the 1600's the most common cause of death in laboring women was fatigue. A woman would need a c-section which obviously didn't exist at that time and she would become tired from all of the pushing. Eventually she would just give up, stop pushing and die. Another major factor is blood loss.

Birth is a difficult and dangerous process for mother and baby.
Its only recently that we have been able to reduce birth related deaths. We still have a way to go.

They can die from complications. If they have high blood pressure and can't get it under control, or sometimes you don't know until after it happens.

Yes, it is sad, but these days it is rather rare.
Heart failure accounts for some.
