This is really interesting and I'm excited to dig in.
i guess i'm just a little surprised that there in their "broad topics" section there isn't any options related to pregnancy or childbirth since 20% of all women died from it.

The broad topics are really, really broad. The many facets of pregnancy and childbirth fall under topics such as "Family", "Marriage", "Health", and "Sexuality". The subject headings include:
Childbirth
Childbirth, Image of
Childbirth in Art
Childbirth in Literature
Male Pregnancy (who knew mpreg was medieval...)
Pregnancy

Pregnancy in Literature

Almost all scholarly estimates are actually closer to "only" 1 or 2% maternal mortality. This is per birth, but it is not purely additive with each additional child, since the first birth has the highest risk of maternal mortality.
