1 in 100 doesnt sound that risky
Since the dawn of time women would commonly die in childbirth, so for this reason society had to be built around this consequence.
(Roughly 1 in 100 until the late 1800s)
Women would necessarily be extremely careful in both choosing a mate and staying celibate until marriage. Without marriage (without wedlock) a woman and their child risked death. In turn, men had to become gentlemen in respect to this arrangement to prove themselves worthy as a long term provider and stable caretaker if need be.
Abortion did exist before modern medicine, but that too could result in a deadly infection.
With the advent of modern medicine, a nearly guaranteed survival rate after birth and access to abortion, there is no longer a reason for women to control their promiscuity; there is no longer a fear of death by it.
Couple this with welfare payments negating the need for fathers, and you've got the modern death of traditional families.
