ELI5: Why, before healthful practice, was it so common for a woman to die during childbirth? Do other species have this problem?

To some extent, yes every species has trouble with childbirth. Some species always die after childbirth. 

However, Humans are pretty bad at child birth. Standing upright and having big heads puts extra strain on the whole process. If those traits didn't provide a lot of benefit, we would have some issues from an evolutionary standpoint.
