It's not just death in childbirth, it's also that the body needs recovery time between pregnancies and three kids in no more then five years is pushing it.
Maybe that's why she stopped having kids - complications from such a reckless rate of reproduction.
Furthermore, the quiverfull movement is the sort of thing where you find questions like 'my wife has heath issues that mean she has a good chance of dying if she gets pregnant, is this a serious enough reason to not have kids?'. Which. Um. Yes. That's not a question people should need to ask.
Fuck those people with a rusty spoon. I will never forget (or forgive) the case of the woman who had VERY SERIOUS mental health issues including postpartum depression, did not want to have more kids, and was repeatedly advised by doctors and mental health professionals - in her husband's presence - not to have any further pregnancies. So what did the husband do? Forced yet another goddamn pregnancy on her, then left her alone with all six or seven kids including the new baby. She snapped and killed them all, including the baby.
And people called this book feminist....
Depressingly, by the standards of the time in which it was written and published, this was about as "feminist" as you could expect. It kind of goes hand in hand with the complete non-existence of gay people, because them gays aren't having babies (in the "proper way") and therefore aren't wanted because your only purpose in life is BEBBES.
