Parental Abandonment occurs with an overwhelming frequency in fiction. On top of that, an overwhelming number of victims lose their mothers during childbirth. So sad, so tragic, so heart-wrenching...such a goldmine of a plot device. Nothing impossible about it, but the statistics are ridiculously high, especially for any industrialized nations (although, as Jane Austen observed, it was used ridiculously often even before modern medicine).
May be used to set up a tense family situation where the father or older siblings unreasonably blame the youngest for "murdering their mother" and turn him/her into The Un-Favourite. Other times, the dead woman's father and/or mother may accuse her (now widowed) husband of killing her. The new widower may or may not agree with his father-in-law.
In fact, the use of it as a plot device might be Older Than Feudalism, since unless his mother died in childbirth, the protagonist could be burdened with at least six younger siblings.
Notably, in fiction the mother might not stand a chance of living through the childbirth owing to the nature of the child's father being something other than human — more so if the “gestationâ€� involved a Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong and/or if the baby is a Fetus Terrible that follows a Chestburster-style of birth.
The dead mother may become The Lost Lenore for the father, the child her last gift to him. Her death may also be considered a Heroic Sacrifice, with the woman being praised for her strength and valor.
Can double as Sex Signals Death for a particularly Anvilicious Aesop. Often used in Fan Fiction for shows where Parental Abandonment is never explained. Very often a Truth in Television for at least 70% of the world's population (particularly those parts of the world where modern medicine is not readily accessible). According to the UNFPA in 2005, while the lifetime risk of maternal death for people in 'developed regions' is 1 in 7300, the average worldwide is 1 in 92, rising as high as 1 in 22 women for Sub-Saharan Africa (source). Note that the per pregnancy risk is lower since many of these cultures also have high birth rates since they also tend to have high infant mortality rates.
Incidentally, dying in childbirth is not pretty at all. Many such stories have a beautiful death that just results in the mother kissing her weeping husband and soon-to-be-motherless baby goodbye. Writers often forget about the screaming, the bleeding, the fever, and the way that this agony could go on for days, and such writers either don't know this or just can't stomach it. It should be noted that some deaths in childbirth are pretty fast — a woman with uterine atony can hemorrhage to death in minutes without emergency medical intervention, but that's a lot of blood.
May be a set up for the Wicked Stepmother, Promotion to Parent or Missing Mom. If the baby dies in the womb, it's a Tragic Stillbirth. If someone other than the mother or baby dies, it's Birth-Death Juxtaposition. Compare Born from a Dead Woman for when the baby is recovered alive after the death of the mother.
This is far less common for stories set in modern times, as medical advancements make dying during childbirth extremely uncommon. However, this still may apply in stories with settings that lack such conveniences.
As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

In the musical adaptation of Matilda, this was the ultimate fate of the Acrobat (i.e. Miss Honey's mother). During a dangerous stunt, which she and her husband had wanted to call off due to her pregnancy but which her evil sister Miss Trunchbull forced them to perform anyway, she took a terrible fall and broke nearly every bone in her body. She survived long enough to bring her baby to term, but when she gave birth, "the effort was too great."

Played straight in one episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Justified as the mother had placenta previa, a condition which prevented a safe vaginal delivery, which is a thing that can happen even with modern medicine. She had been scheduled for a c-section and would have most likely been okay if that had gone as planned, but instead she was kidnapped and ended up going into labor while she was being held prisoner. Stabler and Fin find her still alive, and are thus able to save her baby, but the damage to the mother is too severe and she dies.
Mentioned in another episode, though the unlikeliness of it is referenced. It turns out not to be the case.
And averted in another episode when Stabler's wife Kathy is on Cliché Road heading to Trope Avenue, having been involved in a car accident along with Olivia. She gives birth to a baby boy in an ambulance on the way to the hospital, then loses blood pressure and consciousness as the screen fades to black... only to have her wide awake and recovering fully when Stabler arrives at the hospital.
This is part of the backstory for Merrit Rook, the antagonist in "Authority". His wife had a placental abruption during labor that the doctor missed, and she and the baby both died. Merrit came to blame himself because he had seen that something was wrong but chose to defer to the doctor.

Discussed in Sleepless Domain, but never actually occurs. In chapter ten, Heartful Punch tells Undine about her mother. HP says her mom died shortly after she was born and, as a side effect of her mother being an active Magical Girl at the time, her powers left her and went into HP. Because of this, Undine hesitantly asks if HP's mom passed away in labor. HP assures Undine that was not the case.

In The Eyes of The Dragon, a short fantasy novel by Stephen King, Queen Sasha survives a relatively difficult first birth. The second birth is extremely easy — until the midwife, on orders from court magician and Big Bad Flagg, makes a small incision that causes the queen to bleed to death, unknown to anyone. The fact that she was a Universally Beloved Leader only strengthens the second son, Thomas, in his belief that nobody in the kingdom likes him for anything but "throne insurance."

In Mermaid's Song, Elan's adopted mother Maadu is a few days away from giving birth, so Elan searches for effron, a rare plant that can help a mermaid survive childbirth. But when she arrives at the caverns with the effron, Maadu's biological daughter Tsui thinks it's poison, rips it up, and scatters it on the currents. Elan can't find more before Maadu goes into labor. She and her child both die.

Dragon Age, being a medieval setting, has multiple examples.
Dragon Age: Origins:
The assassin Zevran's mother died giving birth to him and he was raised in a whorehouse before being sold to the Crows. Zevran seems to blame himself for her death, referring to her as his "first victim." One of the unique gifts the player can give him (for quite a few approval points) is a pair of Dalish gloves similar to the ones his mother left behind.
Alistair's mother died giving birth to him, too. For extra points, he was the illegitimate son of the king, and his half-sister Goldanna blames him for their mother's death (and just about everything else). She's a lovely person. Word of God says that this actually isn't true and that Alistair's mother is really an elven Grey Warden named Fiona, who's still alive; her relationship with Alistair's father is part of the tie-in novel The Calling. If you play Dragon Age: Inquisition, you meet her and she hints at her relationship to Alistair.
Seen — well, sort of — in the backstory of the Dalish Warden's origin. Mahariel's father was killed while their mother was pregnant; she basically lost the will to live and survived only long enough to give birth to her child, whom she surrendered to the care of a friend before wandering off into the woods to succumb to Death by Despair.
If, during the Redcliffe arc, the Warden fails to save the life of Arl Eamon's son Connor, the ending slides reveal that Eamon and his wife Isolde later have a second child, a daughter. Isolde dies in childbirth; Eamon names the girl Rowan, after his late sister.

In Smax it's eventually revealed that Smax's mother died this way. She was raped by an ogre, who kept her in his cave and beat her, meaning she was in no condition to give birth when she did. She was tough. She might've survived the birth... if she didn't have twins.

In Retarded Animal Babies, Puppy's mother died giving birth to him (he was the last puppy out of a huge litter). His father Sean Connery (yes, really) immediately accuses him of murdering her. Puppy had suppressed this memory for years and didn't take it well at all when it resurfaced. Hamster assumes this is Puppy's Freudian Excuse for his Extreme Omnisexual behavior — he lacked a maternal role model growing up. It's so pitiful that even the woman he was harassing earlier doesn't have the heart to have him thrown out of the bar.

In The Silmarillion Míriel, mother of Anti-Hero Fëanor, dies in childbirth. While this does not make him The Unfavorite with his father, his passionate spirit is blamed for her death by the Noldor Elves. This contributes to his Inferiority Superiority Complex, and later violent actions. Missing mothers are a common theme in Tolkien's Legendarium, probably due to his own experience of losing his mother at a young age (she entered a diabetic coma when he was only about 10, though she only died of it several years later). This, however, is the only example of a major character's mother dying in childbirth. Fëanor's birth did not cause physical complications but spiritual ones; he took so much of Míriel's living spirit that she had none left and passed away during her postpartum convalescence.

In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, Anri the Hero's beloved Princess Artemis not only couldn't marry him because he was a commoner, but fell victim to this trope when she brought her and Duke Cartas' child to the world. The poor woman's last words were a curse on the titular Fire Emblem, which she dubbed 'the end of war, but also the end of love'.
In Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, it looks like Prince Galzus's wife died while bringing their child Mareeta to the world.
In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Byleth's mother died while giving birth to them. Byleth was initially stillborn, but their mother begged Rhea to save their life by putting the progenitor god's Crest Stone in Byleth's heart.

In the Angel episode "Lullaby", Darla the vampire dies during Connor's birth; but in a twist, it is because she stakes herself, allowing Connor to live since she was physically incapable of delivering a child.

Bones seems to like using this to explain the absence of minor characters' mothers. In "The Doctor in the Den," Dr. Welton (Cam's ex-fiancé)'s wife died giving birth to their daughter Michelle (whom Cam then adopts following his death), and in "The Puzzlemaster in the Pit," the victim had given up his child for adoption in college because his girlfriend died during childbirth and he couldn't care for a child alone.

David's wife Michal is noted to have not had a child "until the day of her death." The Talmud (Sanhedrin 21a) notes a tradition that she was the same person as Eglah, a wife who is mentioned as having a son, and explains the discrepancy by saying that she died the day he was born.

In Umineko: When They Cry, Beatrice Castiglioni, Kinzo's beloved mistress, died this way after giving birth to their daughter, Beatrice II. This officially warped Kinzo into the insane old man we know and love, but what's worse is that he eventually raped Beatrice II under the self-delusion that she was her mother's reincarnation, making her pregnant.

Kevin & Kell:
Corrie Dale's mother Wanda Woolstone died in childbirth. This served as a Freudian Excuse for her father Ralph Dewclaw to want to eat Kevin in order to spare his sister the same grief.
Years later, Corrie found out that there was a high chance she'd have the same fate if she tried having a biological child. As a result, she and Bruno give up on the idea and go back to their initial plan of adoption. (Note: that reason was All There in the Manual, only revealed on Lindesfarne's blog.)

The birth of a werefox in the Kitsune supplement for the Old World of Darkness almost always causes this... sort of. For mystical reasons that are never completely explained, the birth of a Kitsune requires sacrifice, so a non-Kitsune parent of a Kitsune has a 90% chance of dying when the child is born. Yes, this happens to fathers as well as mothers.

In Dark Sun, muls are dwarf-human hybrids with incredible stamina and hardiness, making them exceptional workers and gladiators. Unfortunately, the "unnatural child" is a difficult pregnancy, as it takes a full 12 months to carry to term, and according to 2nd Edition, a human mother only has a 16% chance of surviving both the pregnancy and childbirth, while a dwarven mother fares slightly better with 36% odds of survival. Between this and the fact that muls' conception are usually ordered by slaveowners, the hybrids tend to be resented by their parents.

Naruto:
The Fourth Kazekage (leader of the Hidden Sand Village in the Land of Winds) had been attempting to father a child who would be able to contain Shukaku, with Temari and Kankuro being incompatible. Gaara was a match and the Shukaku was sealed while he was in the womb, but Gaara was born extremely premature as a result. Karura was already very weakened by the childbirth itself, and she soon died.
Sakumo Hatake's beloved wife died when she gave birth to their son Kakashi, whom Sakumo tried to raise as well as he could until he had to commit seppuku a few years later.

In Dance in the Vampire Bund, the only sure way to sire a werewolf child is for the father to be in werewolf form when the deed is done. The ensuing pregnancy is extremely taxing on the mother, and more often than not kills her. Akira's mother is wheelchair-bound as a result of the birth of his younger brother.

Chesska, Anthony's wife from Archipelago, dies in childbirth. This is implied to have permanently embittered Anthony, as later his colleagues remember him as cold, ruthless, and unlikable. After Death of Personality caused by Ocean Madness and a failed Demonic Possession, Blitz, the new inhabitant of Anthony's body starts to cry at the birth of Deliza and Mikel's child and has no idea why. He later has a vivid dream from which he wakes up shaken and confused, also not having a clue as to what any of it meant. Turns out that dream was a memory of Chesska. When their child, Clair, is introduced, Blitz has no idea who she is either.

A variation mentioned in passing in Les Misérables: Jean Valjean's mother died soon after his birth of a "milk fever": an old term for mastitis, a complication of milk production for breastfeeding. Since his father also died in a work accident, this explains why he was raised by his older sister.

Discussed Trope in The Forgotten Frontier, a 1931 documentary about nurses ministering to the desperately poor mountain folk of Appalachia. The film points out that more women have died in childbirth in America than men have died in wars. Later, a desperate farmer has to leave his twin babies with the nurses after his wife dies in childbirth, and thus isn't around to nurse.

Harry's mother in The Dresden Files, although it is later revealed that this was the result of a curse. A bad luck curse, to be specific. It was the usual medical nastiness that actually did her in; the curse just brought that on.

According to one of the Kill la Kill AU fanfics, Ragyou almost died as she was giving birth to Satsuki due to unknown pregnancy/birth complications. It was also noted that said complications could have killed Satsuki, too.

Quite possibly because Witches also act as Midwives, this is a rare occurrence in Discworld. In Sourcery, Coin's mother dies of a heart attack while giving birth to him. Lady Sybil Vimes comes close to dying in Night Watch, and Rincewind's mother is said (in defiance of all logic) to have run away before he was born. There's also a point at the start of Carpe Jugulum where Granny Weatherwax has to make the difficult decision of saving either the newborn baby or the mother after the mother got kicked by their cow and went into labor from that, but she can't save both.

This is the official explanation of what happened to Sephiroth's mother "Jenova" in Final Fantasy VII. Besides that, his actual, human mother Lucrecia Crescent tried to kill herself shortly after he was born and ended up vanishing from the public eye. The way it was translated originally made it sound a lot like she died in childbirth and the player actually met her ghost later on; Lucrecia is actually trapped in a Fate Worse than Death, having frozen herself in a Crystal Prison since she has Jenova cells that won't let her die and feels horribly guilty for her part in Seph's truly screwed up origins.

Sword and Fairy 7 has an unusual, time-delayed, magic-induced version for both parents. A child of two Deities will absorb spiritual energy of their parents, who will eventually die from it. For this reason procreation is forbidden for Deities, who are otherwise biologically immortal. A child, who was born in violation of the law, serves as the game's Living MacGuffin.

Swedish writer Simona Ahrnstedt gives us two examples in her debut novel Överenskommelser. The first one is a straight one, where the female protagonist Beatrice explains that her mother died in childbirth (her baby sister died too). The second example is a downplayed or subverted one: Beatrice's cousin Sofia suffers from eclampsia, becomes very ill, but survives.

Mined for all of its drama in Kodocha, with Akito Hayama's mother Koharu. His father Fuyuki buried himself in his work and ignored his children in his grief, and the emotionally-scarred Natsumi abused Akito atrociously because she blamed him for both their mother's death and their father's neglect. Sana learns about this, pulls a small Batman Gambit to fix their home life, and it works.
This is also touched in the sort-of sequel, Deep Clear. Sana and Akito are married and she's pregnant, but it's not an easy pregnancy for her and Akito is terrified since he fears Sana will die as Koharu did. This puts their relationship in quite a lot of trouble, but with the help of Shuri, they work past it.

Is explicitly stated to be impossible for female Chosen in Exalted. The infant may die, but not the mother. This is probably a specific design feature for the Dragon-Blooded, who must pass their power on genetically; the Celestial Exalts are just that tough. A certain amount of risk enters the equation if the Exalt gives birth too often (every five years is considered the minimum safe period), but the chances are still very slim.

This is a big part of Henri's backstory in Marginal Prince, even though the anime itself doesn't really focus on it. The website for the game the series is based on elaborates on it and lists it as a reason for the bad relationship between Henri and his father (who blames his son for it). The anime only hints at it when it's revealed that Henri isn't very keen on the topic of his parents. He also doesn't seem to like his birthday.

Dragon Age: Origins:
The assassin Zevran's mother died giving birth to him and he was raised in a whorehouse before being sold to the Crows. Zevran seems to blame himself for her death, referring to her as his "first victim." One of the unique gifts the player can give him (for quite a few approval points) is a pair of Dalish gloves similar to the ones his mother left behind.
Alistair's mother died giving birth to him, too. For extra points, he was the illegitimate son of the king, and his half-sister Goldanna blames him for their mother's death (and just about everything else). She's a lovely person. Word of God says that this actually isn't true and that Alistair's mother is really an elven Grey Warden named Fiona, who's still alive; her relationship with Alistair's father is part of the tie-in novel The Calling. If you play Dragon Age: Inquisition, you meet her and she hints at her relationship to Alistair.
Seen — well, sort of — in the backstory of the Dalish Warden's origin. Mahariel's father was killed while their mother was pregnant; she basically lost the will to live and survived only long enough to give birth to her child, whom she surrendered to the care of a friend before wandering off into the woods to succumb to Death by Despair.
If, during the Redcliffe arc, the Warden fails to save the life of Arl Eamon's son Connor, the ending slides reveal that Eamon and his wife Isolde later have a second child, a daughter. Isolde dies in childbirth; Eamon names the girl Rowan, after his late sister.

The Sofia the First series finale "Forever Royal" also shows this. King Roland's first wife Queen Lorelei was unable to conceive children. He then used the wishing well first seen in "When You Wish Upon A Well" so that she could conceive children; this led to the births of Amber and James. Unfortunately, she ended up dying, deeply saddening him.

There's some concern of this happening to a few characters during the course of the AU series Skyhold Academy Yearbook. (Given the nature of the stories, the outcome is pretty easy to guess.)

Ultra Fast Pony: Rainbow Dash's mom died giving birth to Dash. As we find out in "The Cheesen One", she had an extremely unhealthy diet, which caused her to have a heart attack during birth.

In the prequel story, Godzilla: New Era, Asuka Shinoda's death was shown in great detail and played realistically. She went into labor prematurely, forcing her to give birth in an old shed instead of a hospital with only her husband Yuji and the zoologist Elsie Chapman helping her. After giving birth to her daughter Io, Asuka held on for a while but died before the paramedics could arrive via helicopter. Elsie speculated that her premature birth and death was because of radiation poisoning after a close encounter with Godzilla Senior. This motivated Yuji to research methods to counteract radiation poisoning.

Narrowly averted in Kakeru's route of 10 Days with My Devil. The protagonist's sister Makoto has had weak health for most of her life; complications with her pregnancy end up requiring an emergency C-section, and Makoto and the baby both nearly die on the operating table, but pull through with the help of Kakeru's power over life energy.

Henry VIII's third wife Jane Seymour, when portrayed onscreen. In reality, although technically it was the birth that killed her, she didn't actually die until almost two weeks later and was well enough to host a party after the christening (which, per tradition, neither she nor Henry attended). However, most cinematic and televisual adaptations have her die giving birth because it's more dramatic than the historical truth. Arguably averted in The Tudors, which follows the real-life example.

This comes up several times in The Priory of the Orange Tree. Several Berethnet queens have died in childbirth, and fear of going the same way is one reason Queen Sabran keeps putting off her Mandatory Motherhood. Cleolind, the wife of Saint Galian Berethnet, was entombed in Inys after dying in childbed, although in the South she's said to have died a different way and been buried in her homeland. The "Cleolind" married to Galian was actually his adopted mother, Kalyba the Enchantress. She nearly died delivering the first Sabran and her resulting weakness left her unable to maintain the hypnotic spell she'd used on Galian, leading to her banishment and his suicide.

In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, Anri the Hero's beloved Princess Artemis not only couldn't marry him because he was a commoner, but fell victim to this trope when she brought her and Duke Cartas' child to the world. The poor woman's last words were a curse on the titular Fire Emblem, which she dubbed 'the end of war, but also the end of love'.

Silent Hill 3 has an utterly bizarre example that technically fits the trope, involving the demon Fetus Terrible in Heather's womb which will kill her when it's born, and actually does kill Claudia after she eats it (it's a long story).
It's worth mentioning that if you don't figure out what to do to cause this scene, then Heather will suffer the consequences.

Dungeons & Dragons:
In Dark Sun, muls are dwarf-human hybrids with incredible stamina and hardiness, making them exceptional workers and gladiators. Unfortunately, the "unnatural child" is a difficult pregnancy, as it takes a full 12 months to carry to term, and according to 2nd Edition, a human mother only has a 16% chance of surviving both the pregnancy and childbirth, while a dwarven mother fares slightly better with 36% odds of survival. Between this and the fact that muls' conception are usually ordered by slaveowners, the hybrids tend to be resented by their parents.
The Weathermay-Foxgrove sisters, successors to Van Richten as Ravenloft's most widely-read occult scholars, lost their mother to this trope. Probably justified: even today, twin births are always considered high-risk, and medical care even in Mordent is 17th-century at best.

Quite common in the Game of Thrones universe, being a medieval fantasy world:
Game of Thrones: Daenerys and Tyrion's mothers both died after giving birth to them. Tywin and Cersei loathe Tyrion, and regard him as some sort of murderer, because of this. Jon Snow's mother Lyanna Stark dies after giving birth to him, as it turns out in The Winds of Winter.
House of the Dragon: Both Queen Aemma Targaryen and Laena Velaryon end up at surefire risk of this when trying to birth due to their child's abnormal fetal position (Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower meanwhile have no such issue and give birth to multiple children each). Aemma dies of blood loss from a Traumatic C-Section peformed in order to save her child (in vain) and Laena ends up asking a Mercy Kill by fire to her dragon Vhagar.

Subverted in My Pain, My Thrill. Peach ends up pregnant by Bowser but no one knew it until Peach went into labor. However, Peach falls into a coma before the birth because her body wasn't made to give birth to a turtle. Her son, Bowser Jr, is born unusually small and was born alive, unlike full koopas who hatch from eggs. Bowser keeps the birth from Peach out of fear, causing her to believe Bowser found another lover after she mysteriously fell ill. It isn't until Jr is three that Peach learns what really happened.

In Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah, the death of Paul Atreides' Fremen wife and legal concubine Chani is the gravity point for half the book, before it actually happened. She dies during the birth of their second and third children, Leto Atreides II (not to be confused with Leto II, their unfortunate older brother, who was killed in a Harkonnen raid) and Ghanima. Chani's death is known to Paul and others via prescience (Face-dancers actively try to profit from this, by offering Paul the chance/compromise/ devil's bargain to clone Chani, which he just barely manages to refuse). This death is caused, or at the very least escalated, by the fact that Princess Irulan (Paul's legal wife, daughter of the deposed emperor, and Bene Gesserit, to name just a few) has been feeding Chani contraceptives for some 12 years for rather obvious political reasons (and because the Bene Gesserit did not want their millennia-long genetic project getting contaminated by the wildcard that was Chani's bloodline, and would have liked to ensure that Paul had children with someone more suitable, like Irulan, whom they could manipulate). According to Paul, Chani's death during childbirth was far less painful and cruel compared to her possible future fates had she survived.

Steven Universe:
The series provides a fantastic variant: apparently, Rose Quartz "gave up her physical form" to bring her half-human son, Steven, into the world. The exact details of this have not yet been explained, but it has been mentioned that Rose's sacrifice was necessary to pass her gem to her son and that she technically still exists as part of the gem half of his biology. Rose did this willingly and knowingly, effectively making this an example of (G-rated) Suicide by Childbirth.
In "Change Your Mind" when White Diamond removes Steven's gem, it's confirmed that his mother is completely dead and gone. The Fanon that she would re-form if the gem were removed from Steven is debunked: Steven's gem half is Rose's current form and her consciousness is sublimated into his.

Surma and Atimony Carver from Gunnerkrigg Court are a variant. Surma was a Half-Human Hybrid of human and fire elemental, and when she had a child — Antimony — her "fire" passed into that child. As Antimony grew, she gradually sapped Surma's life force to fuel her own, eventually leading to Surma's death.

Dear America: In Cannons At Dawn, the protagonist Abby and her mother and siblings go to stay with her mother's cousin Deborah after their house burns down. When they get there, they learn that she died in childbirth the past Christmas, along with her baby. The father is obviously still in mourning, despite having remarried for the sake of his surviving children.
This happened to Eva, a cousin of Julie Weiss before the events of One Eye Laughing, The Other Weeping. She had gotten pregnant out of wedlock. Her parents had offered to help get an underground abortion, but she insisted upon raising the child herself. Eva ended up dying giving birth to a baby who only lived a few days.

According to the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing manga Episode Zero, Quatre Raberba Winner's mother Quatrina died giving birth to him, determined to both have a child by natural ways and give his father a son after his last twenty-nine test-tube children were all girls, though she knew beforehand that it would cost her her life since her body was not fit for bearing children. For all the girls, she'd used artificial wombs instead.
In fact, when Zayeed Winner asked the dying Quatrina "He's born healthy, but now you're going to die... Was it worth it?", she replied, "I wanted to be the mother of your children!"... and those were her last words.

Cathy I in Wuthering Heights dies just after giving birth to Cathy II, having been severely weakened by Brain Fever, though this isn't played for Gothic family romance laughs. Interestingly, Wuthering Heights was (famously) not written by a man, but rather a motherless woman herself.

This is one of the reasons Dupli-Kate and her twin brother Multi-Paul in Invincible have their multiplying powers. A bizarre curse on their family doomed their father to have so many children that he would be driven insane. Since their mother died in childbirth and he never remarried, it seemed like the curse would be averted. The curse got creative and gave Kate and Paul their powers, and their father did indeed go insane trying to handle the bizarre situation.

The King of Fighters fans widely believe that Iori Yagami's birth mother died in childbirth as a consequence of the Orochi curse. It has neither been confirmed nor jossed in canon, but since the aforementioned Orochi curse is incredibly strong and very painful on the members of the Yagami clans, it's a fairly understandable assumption.

In the third season of The Walking Dead (2010), Lori goes into labor in the middle of a walker attack and begins bleeding heavily. As she had previously done with Carl, she is forced to give birth via C-section... and as might be imagined, C-section with a hunting knife in the basement of an abandoned prison doesn't end well for the mother.

Garma Zabi's mother supposedly died in childbirth in the original series. This may be justified by first generation space colonists having poor health due to excessive exposure to cosmic radiation & microgravity.
According to the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing manga Episode Zero, Quatre Raberba Winner's mother Quatrina died giving birth to him, determined to both have a child by natural ways and give his father a son after his last twenty-nine test-tube children were all girls, though she knew beforehand that it would cost her her life since her body was not fit for bearing children.

In Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee, Gauche Suede's mother, Sylvette, dies giving birth to his sister, who is also named Sylvette — he named her after his mother.
Niche's mother didn't survive childbirth either, probably due to complications such as her own poor health at the time, giving birth to twins, and that her children were not normal humans.

In Shazam! fanfiction Here There Be Monsters, giving birth two genetically-enhanced children taxed Doctor Sivana's first wife's body. She never recovered from her second pregnancy, and she died within two months of her daughter's birth.

In Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura, giving birth to a Half-Ogre child almost always results in the death of the human mother. This adds an extra dimension of horror to the breeding program you discover later in the game.

Kana and Jun Ushiro's mother in Bokurano. The elder sibling blames and abuses the younger for it. In a twist, the readers find out that Mrs. Ushiro was not Jun's mother, just his aunt (and in the manga, they weren't related at all, she was just the wife of his birth mom's teacher). His biological mom is actually Captain Misumi Tanaka, the local Action Girl. And she also dies, though not through childbirth.

Tsubasa Shibahime's mother in His and Her Circumstances. It becomes kind of a plot point when her father gets married again and, since Tsubasa had been a Daddy's Girl from birth, it takes her a while to accept her new mother figure. (Who also was the nurse who took care of her after an accident.)

An extremely dark example happens in the Pony POV Series. Lord Tirek's mother died giving birth to him. He would later see her as weak for dying in such a way and consider her death as the first murder he ever committed. This says a lot about Tirek.

A Song of Ice and Fire: It's mentioned as being a concern because Westeros's technology is at a medieval level and it's fairly realistic. Surprisingly common for the more important characters.
Daenerys Targaryen's mother, Queen Rhaella, died after giving birth to her. It's justified by Rhaella already having suffered multiple miscarriages and still-births, being well into middle age, and this being noted as a particularly difficult birth. Dany was born as the royal family was fleeing from "usurper" Robert Baratheon's assassins.
Tyrion Lannister's deformities led to complications in labor and his mother Joanna died as a result, causing his father and sister to blame him for the death.
Tywin Lannister's mother, Jeyne Marbrand, died of postpartum complications a month after giving birth to her fifth child, Gerion.
Alys Stackspear, the first wife of Joanna Lannister's father, Jason, died giving birth to Joanna's half-brother, Damon.
It is hinted that Lyanna Stark might have died in childbirth. The bloody bed in Ned's fever dreams in A Game of Thrones is used to refer to a childbirth bed elsewhere in the books. Of course, this comes up in certain theories about Jon Snow's parents ( specifically, that Lyanna is his mother and Prince Rhaegar is his father) and his Secret Legacy.
Catelyn and Lysa's mother Minisa Whent died this way, giving birth to the last Tully sibling, who died shortly after.
In A Storm of Swords, Dalla, Mance Rayder's wife, dies giving birth to her baby. In the middle of a battle, no less.
Among past Targaryens and related families:
Jeyne Westerling, one of Maegor I's black brides, died giving birth to a deformed child.
Alyssa Velaryon died giving birth to her last child, Jocelyn Baratheon. She was 47 years old, making her a very old mother by Westerosi standards. The maesters diagnosed that she was never going to recover anyway, but they could save her baby through Caesarean section (a fatal procedure for any mother in the medieval setting). Her husband consented.
Daella Targaryen survived giving birth to her only child, Aemma Arryn, but soon developed a terrible fever and eventually died. Her mother, Alysanne, blamed her being married off at an early age for causing this.
Daella's sister Alyssa also died shortly after giving birth to her third child, Aegon. Unfortunately, unlike Aemma, Aegon didn't live to his first nameday.
Aemma herself suffered this fate, dying after giving birth to her third child, who only survived for a day.
Laena Velaryon, Aemma's first cousin once removed, died three days after giving birth to her third child (seen a pattern?), a malformed lizard monstrosity much like the one born by Daenerys.
Aegon IV's wife and sister, Naerys, died in childbirth. Since the child's name is not recorded, it likely died as well.
Serenei of Lys, one of Aegon IV's mistresses, died giving birth to Shiera Seastar, the last of the Great Bastards.
Walder Frey's eldest son Stevron lost his third wife, Marsella Waynwood, when she gave birth to their son, Walton (father of Fair Walda). Maegelle, Stevron's daughter with his second wife and sister of Aegon "Jinglebell", also died in childbed. Another Frey who endured this trope is Tyana Wylde, wife of Walder's third son, Aenys.
Balon Greyjoy's stepmother, Lady Piper, died giving birth to a stillborn daughter.
Jon Arryn lost his first wife, Jeyne Royce, when she died giving birth to a stillborn daughter. Jon's younger sister, Alys, also died shortly after giving birth to her ninth child, Jasper Waynwood.
Floris Baratheon, wife of the Hand of the King during Aegon III's reign, Thaddeus Rowan, died in childbirth, leaving Thaddeus in a black state.
Ned Stark's great-grandfather Willam was previously married to Lyanne Glover, who died giving birth to a son, Brandon. Brandon ended up dying prematurely, and Willam took another wife, Melantha Blackwood, from whom the current Starks are descended.
Cregan Stark's first wife, Arra Norrey, died giving birth to his son and heir, Rickon.

In the Moral Orel episode "Dumb," this is what resident bully Joe initially believes happened to his biological mother, as this is what his elderly, Alzheimer's-stricken father told him. It's ultimately subverted: turns out Joe's mother is actually the very much alive Nurse Bendy, and she was only thirteen years old when Joe's (much older) father impregnated her. When Joe finds out the truth, he beats his dad to a pulp.

The Bible:
Rachel, the favorite wife of Jacob, dies giving birth to her second son, Benjamin. However, being both the youngest and Rachel's son actually makes Benjamin favored by his father, who becomes especially protective once Rachel's other son, Joseph, "dies."
On a sadder note, Phinehas' wife dies while she gives birth to her son Ichabod (meaning "lacking glory"), whom she names that because the glory of the Lord has departed from Israel when the Ark of the Covenant was taken by the Philistines in a battle where her husband was killed along with his brother Hophni.
David's wife Michal is noted to have not had a child "until the day of her death." The Talmud (Sanhedrin 21a) notes a tradition that she was the same person as Eglah, a wife who is mentioned as having a son, and explains the discrepancy by saying that she died the day he was born.

Used in couple of Final Fantasy games.
In the added backstory in the Nintendo DS version of Final Fantasy IV, Cecil's mother died giving birth to him. For Cecil's elder brother Theodor, her death combined with Kluya's death just shortly earlier is what allows Zemus to gain control of Theodor and turn him into Golbez.
This is part of Gau's backstory in Final Fantasy VI. His mother's death is what caused his father to go mad and leave him in the Veldt. The Japanese and the retranslated versions also stated that Edgar and Sabin's mother died giving birth to them. And then there's Relm's mother.
This is the official explanation of what happened to Sephiroth's mother "Jenova" in Final Fantasy VII. Besides that, his actual, human mother Lucrecia Crescent tried to kill herself shortly after he was born and ended up vanishing from the public eye. The way it was translated originally made it sound a lot like she died in childbirth and the player actually met her ghost later on; Lucrecia is actually trapped in a Fate Worse than Death, having frozen herself in a Crystal Prison since she has Jenova cells that won't let her die and feels horribly guilty for her part in Seph's truly screwed up origins.
In Final Fantasy VIII Squall's mother Raine died in childbirth and he was sent to the orphanage.
Aire's mother, the Queen of Horne, died this way in Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light. The party eventually goes back in time and prevents it by bringing her real husband back to care for her. He'd been turned into a parrot and replaced by a demon in the original timeline.

The Weathermay-Foxgrove sisters, successors to Van Richten as Ravenloft's most widely-read occult scholars, lost their mother to this trope. Probably justified: even today, twin births are always considered high-risk, and medical care even in Mordent is 17th-century at best.

In the second Atari Force series, Martin Champion's wife Lydia Perez dies while giving birth to their son Christopher, whom Dr. Lucas Orion (the physician present) thought Martin blamed for the mother's death, but as it turned out, it was actually the Dark Destroyer that killed her.

In some adaptations of A Christmas Carol, Scrooge's deceased younger sister Fan and/or his mother suffered this, which could explain the implied distant relationship between young Ebenezer and his father. The Alastair Sim film includes the heart-wrenching scene of Fan's death. The book, however, does not mention the circumstances surrounding the death of either. A scene where Fred's wife knows an old favorite tune of Fan's suggests that she survived into Fred's childhood; and Fan's existence in the first place implies that if Scrooge's mother did die giving birth to him, his father must have remarried, which would make Fan his half-sister, though adaptations in which Scrooge's mother died in childbirth tend to make Fan Scrooge's elder sister instead of his younger.

The Seer and His Butterfly:
Sara had died giving birth to Mirabel, a fact they knew would happen years before it happened when Bruno had an involuntary vision of it. By the time she finds out she was pregnant, Sera had already made peace with it.
Defied with Mirabel. When Mirabel becomes pregnant, Bruno becomes so worried that history would repeat itself that he has a vision. Not only does he find out that she'll pull through just fine, he finds out that she's having twins.

David Copperfield:
Strongly implied, but not exactly stated, in the case both of David's mother Clara, after she gives birth to David's unnamed baby half-brother, and of his first wife Dora. This parallel is probably meant to emphasize the similarities between the two characters, and in both cases the baby dies, too. These two examples are more realistic than many, as neither woman dies immediately after the birth, but both decline slowly over the next several weeks, similar to the Real Life example of Jane Seymour.

This is discussed between sisters Elsa and Anna in An Arm and a Leg. It's dangerous for Elsa to become pregnant. She likely won't survive and even the baby itself might not. It's recommended that Elsa not have kids but, being the queen, Elsa needs a heir of her own.

In Out of the Dust, Billie Jo's mother dies giving birth to a baby who lives for only a few hours. However, both of them would have most likely survived if only they hadn't been burned so badly a few weeks prior in a freak accident; the birth was just the straw that broke the camel's back for Billie Jo's mother, and the extent of the mother's injuries likely impaired the baby's development, resulting in him dying as well.

Fairy Tail subverts this Played for Drama. Makarov's mother Rita is believed to have died by childbirth after having him. What actually happened was Mavis' death curse activating for the first time from her experiencing the pure joy and happiness of watching the birth of the son of one of her True Companions and killing Rita while she held her hand. Realizing that Zeref wasn't lying after all about what her immortality really entailed caused her to have a Freak Out and run away from the guild, and this led to a whole host of events that made things get so much worse for her, Zeref, and the world as a whole.

It is hinted that Lyanna Stark might have died in childbirth. The bloody bed in Ned's fever dreams in A Game of Thrones is used to refer to a childbirth bed elsewhere in the books.

Mrs. Richard F. Schiller of Lolita dies in childbirth. Of course, it's not until the end of the book that we learn that she is actually the title character. This is also mentioned to befall Humbert's first wife, Valeria, after she leaves him.

Little House on the Prairie: The actual cause of death of Nancy Olesen's biological mother. For years, Nancy, a young Nellie Olesen-lookalike orphan with severe behavioral problems, had claimed she was abandoned by her mother; but her adoptive mother (the evil Mrs. Olesen, of all people) helps Nancy come to terms with the fate of her birth mother.
Several other episodes dealt with pre-eclampsia and birth-related complications. Two examples are the Season 7 episodes "A Faraway Cry" (Caroline Ingalls tends to a childhood friend who begins having complications with her pregnancy) and "Dark Sage" (the town's new doctor, who is black, is the only medical professional in the area who can perform a Caesarian section to save the mother's life, thereby averting the trope).
Dr. Baker's announcement of the birth of Nellie's daughter is interrupted when Caroline suddenly shrieks, “Dr. Baker! Come quick!â€� He bolts upstairs. Reasoning that something has gone wrong, Nellie's husband, parents, and in-laws quickly cycle through extreme emotions. Horror and grief that the new baby must have been stillborn — to celebration upon hearing a baby cry — and back to horror and grief again at the thought that Nellie must have fallen victim to this trope. Averted after all. Caroline had called for Dr. Baker so urgently because Nellie was unexpectedly delivering a son also.

Queens of Mewni: Sky the Weaver died a few days after giving birth to Moon due to a combination of this trope (complications arose due to Sky's diminutive stature having adverse effects on her pregnancy) and Death by Despair (she had just lost her husband a couple months before giving birth, and that had already taken a toll on her heath). She lived long enough to name her younger sister Comet regent over her other sister.

A rather unusual variant occurs in Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water: giving birth to a half-ghost Shadowborn severely reduces the mother's lifespan down to a few years.

In Elfen Lied, Kurama's wife Hiromi dies shortly after the birth of their daughter, Mariko, due to a Caesarian Section complication. Justified in that Hiromi was said to have been sickly all her life, couldn't conceive naturally, and couldn't give birth without a C-Section. She could have survived had Kurama not startled her by revealing he intended to kill baby!Mariko since she was a diclonius; her reaction was understandable, if suicidal.

Ofelia's half-brother kills his mother in Pan's Labyrinth — foreshadowed as Carmen starts the movie with a very difficult pregnancy, is increasingly fragile as the movie goes on, and eventually suffers a hemorrhage with only Ofelia there to look for help. By that point she's bedridden, and when she finally goes into labor, she's hanging by a thread. The cruel part is that she could have survived with some help, but her new husband Captain Vidal refuses to allow the doctor to do it. He figures it's a waste of medicine, since their baby is a boy and that's all that matters to him.

The Bridge:
Princess Melpomene died giving birth to Sonata Dusk.
In the prequel story, Godzilla: New Era, Asuka Shinoda's death was shown in great detail and played realistically. She went into labor prematurely, forcing her to give birth in an old shed instead of a hospital with only her husband Yuji and the zoologist Elsie Chapman helping her. After giving birth to her daughter Io, Asuka held on for a while but died before the paramedics could arrive via helicopter. Elsie speculated that her premature birth and death was because of radiation poisoning after a close encounter with Godzilla Senior. This motivated Yuji to research methods to counteract radiation poisoning.

Garma Zabi's mother supposedly died in childbirth in the original series. This may be justified by first generation space colonists having poor health due to excessive exposure to cosmic radiation & microgravity.

Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden: Technically, Lilias Craven died from falling out of a tree. The fall also triggered early labor, and Lilias was barely able to give birth to Colin right before she died.

Rebecca dies this way in The Walking Dead: Season 2. While Rebecca doesn't die immediately, as most other examples of this trope, it's still what ultimately kills her. The group's decision to press on through a blizzard the morning after she gives birth makes Rebecca die of exhaustion, and then she's shot in the head by either Clementine or Kenny during a Mexican Standoff as she starts to turn into a zombie.

In Ars Magica, there are rules for childbirth and midwifery. A woman's chance of dying in each birth is about one in five, though a good midwife provides for a substantially better chance. Incidentally, a Hermetic maga who has any interest in the subject can more-or-less ensure a trouble-free birth, though doing this for a noble family may be illegal depending on local Hermetic politics.

In Revenge of the Sith, Padmé dies within minutes of giving birth to Luke and Leia since "she's lost the will to live", though the (albeit now non-canonical) junior novelization outright states that she sustained lethal tracheal injuries from the force choke given to her by Anakin — which the med droids failed to pick up on due to being programmed by non-humanoids who had basically zero contact with humans (or humanoid species).

Arthur's mother in Merlin (2008) died in childbirth, after Uther makes a deal with Nimueh so she (the mother) can conceive since the magic of the Old Religion demands a life for a life. It is left deliberately ambiguous whether Nimueh knew Arthur's mother would be the one to die/ensured it happened, and was counting on it (being beautiful, powerful, and ambitious, she would have been well-placed to exploit his grief and become Queen). Whatever was intended, Uther unleashed a vicious Roaring Rampage of Revenge against magic as a whole, committing outright genocide. It's implied in one episode that he knew and this was a Never My Fault reaction in his grief — though while this information supposedly comes from the spirit of Arthur's mother, that spirit was raised by Morgause, who was manipulating Arthur.

Beauty and the Beast (1987) has three horrifying cases of this:
Vincent's foster brother Devin's mother died in childbirth with Father attending. This leads Father to not acknowledge Devin as his son until adulthood, though Father claims that was because he didn't want to seem to favor his 'real' son. He is genuinely dismayed when Vincent points out he's gone to the opposite extreme.
And of course Catherine herself has a rather heartbreaking (indirect) death by childbirth in that she is held prisoner throughout her pregnancy with Jacob and murdered shortly after without ever even holding her son. She lives just long enough to tell Vincent about their baby. Of course, considering the execs at the time, this could be an instance of Sex Signals Death.
Vincent himself killed his natural mother. Father admits this through a very pained confession that the brutal fashion of his birth almost caused Father to kill Vincent at birth, but he relented.

The book series Dragonriders of Pern includes seven births: One is normal, two aren't described (but we know they didn't kill the mothers, as they do appear later), two almost kill the mothers, and two do kill the mothers. Fewer than half are "normal"
Lord Fax effectively raped Lady Gemma into premature labor, with the intention of killing her in childbirth. He's then goaded into renouncing Ruatha in favor of her issue, giving Lessa the opportunity to arrange a duel in which he's killed. To Lessa's chagrin, Gemma does give live birth despite dying, and the resulting boy, Jaxom, becomes crucial to Pern's future.
This was the fate of Larna, the mother of weyrleader F'lar. This fact is not revealed until toward the end of the series, when The Masterharper of Pern shows the life story of Masterharper Robinton and fills in many story gaps. (F'lar's father, F'lon, was the Masterharper's best boyhood friend.)
F'lon mentions that his own mother died giving birth to him.
Lessa, F'lar's Weyrmate and Weyrwoman of Benden Weyr, almost died giving birth to their only son F'lessan. It's implied that the complications from the difficult birth combined with the toll that frequent trips between have on human physiology have made her infertile. F'lar was so terrified by Lessa's brush with death that he actually doesn't want Lessa to get pregnant again.

In The Future Is Wild, death by childbirth is the natural end of the life cycle of the Bumblebeetle, a species of beetle that lives in the Rainshadow Desert on the supercontinent of Pangea 2, 200 million years in the future. Once a Bumblebeetle finds a suitable and vacant Flish (flying fish descendant) carcass, the Bumblebeetle breaks its abdomen apart to release the larvae, maggot-like creatures called Grimworms. It does this so the Grimworms can get out of the sun and crawl inside the carcass to begin eating it straight-away. It dies shortly after this task, completing its sole purpose.
