Not a death in labour, but basically on the day the child is born or perhaps a bit earlier or later (the last one was only pregnant). The fact that my characters' young wives keep dropping like flies to diseases — whereas my characters, not necessarily looking like high-health types, live till old age — is probably an accident, but the connection with pregnancy or childbirth makes me wonder.
Plenty of deaths from pneumonia/sth on the day a child is born — an accident?

A lot of women who aren't even ill (and you have to be Ill first to get pneumonia) the day before their child is born, die of pneumonia the day their child is born. I suspect it's a bug of some sort, and that it's intended to be "died in childbirth".
It's possible for pregnant women to get pneumonia at the time of delivery. I presume they die instantly from their health going negative. Characters also tend to die instantly when they contract the bubonic plague.
Well they do have "died in child birth" I don't know about why not immediately fatal complications are handled with pneumonia though.
Actually, having played as an Empress who suffered this unfortunate incident, I think it is working as intended. After giving birth I received a pop up about how I was not well at all, linking it directly to the pregnancy iirc, and gained the pneumonic trait. After a few days I passed away. I don't know if the trait is properly conveying that it is child birth complications/illness but the event is worded as such.
You can either die an event where you die in childbirth, this is really rare or you can get ill from childbirth which is much less rare or you can get pneumonia from childbirth. Now I don't know about ya'll but I generally get my affairs in order once my characters get pneumonia since it almost always kills them. The fact that your character dies immediately/shortly after contracting pneumonia is, I'd say, just RNG magic dealing with your now very low health score. Though they could change it to 'birth complications' since I don't know how common getting pneumonia from giving birth actually is but that would require work.
Nah, in my experience it's more like 50/50 chance with pneumonia, I just had a 66 year old caliph survive it.

I also had a wife with pneumonia get pregnant once, she survived childbirth and even recovered afterwards. It's not an outright death sentence.
