"Women risked their lives in childbirth"
Yup. It would claim 1 in 3. Basically, every woman had a relative who had died in childbirth. And as far as the kids go, only 1 in 2 would make it past age 5. Every woman would not only have a relative who had lost a child, and would probably lose at least one herself. This is why women would just concentrate on having babies and keeping them alive, and scorn any work outside the home as unimportant.
Vaccines, antibiotics, and sanitary plumbing changed all that, so clearly we aren't going to go back to the culture we had 300 years ago. A woman who gets pregnant twice can reliably become a grandmother, provided she keeps her family free of feminism.
But, demographics are collapsing anyway as women put off having kids until it's impossible. Clearly we've gone much too far, for our society to survive.
I suspect that we're going to end up with something like the culture of the mid 30s the mid 60s, when fertility rates were less than the agrarian 4.5 and hadn't yet dropped below replacement.
