Welllllll...you probably know more about midwifery than I do, but maternal death rates didn't really plummet until industrialized medicine hit the scene, right? Largely for issues you discuss-- hygiene!-- which, right. That is where I agree with your arguments? A little switch to "fictional history" like "hygiene exists" will have huge repercussions, but believable ones.
