Yes. obstetric accidents, like automobile mishaps do occur, some with fatal results- I am speaking of childbirth trauma here, not auto accidents- the two could, of course overlap- as in a case when a pregnant woman was struck by a motorist about a year ago ( motorist was off-duty police officer, but that is besides the point) Death in childbirth can effect either the Mother, or the child ( usually called stillbirth) or in some tragic occasions, both stages can misfire, to use the disturbing rocket analogy. as there is much physical exertion in a small area of the body- labor trauma is not unkown and circulation problems, etc can play a role. In other words, it Can Happen. For some reason this is a much-neglected health problem, unlike smoking and cancer, Alcoholism, heart attacks, etc. people don"t talk about except in sick jokes about ( Bomb Scares) and the like. nonetheless it does happen.

What was the most dangerous experience to the wives of the colonies?
Up until the early 1900s, childbirth had always been the most dangerous experience for women. Many women and/or their infants died during childbirth. Or, women would get a uterine infection after delivery---there were no antibiotics back then, so the women died. Considering that women typically had large families of 5 to 15 children and with pregnancies 12 to 18 months apart--and even more pregnancies if we add in miscarriages or stillbirths--the childbirth risk was huge and widespread.
