Did the mother die in this death record or just the child?

Top entry in Wangeritz death records on Archion.de. I read from it this information: 1666 in 16 September Dorothea Schwartz and Paul Kleinschmidt have a child but there is an emergency with the birth and the baby dies and is buried on the 18th.

My question is, does it indicate that the wife died in childbirth?

Hello Christina, this death record is only for the mother; there is no mention if the child survived or died as well.

Anno 1666 den 16 September Doroth. Schwartz_, Paul Kleinschmiedes eheliche Hausfrau, in Kindesnöthen gestorben, und mit einer Leichpredigt den 18 begraben worden.

Translation:

in the year 1666, on 16 September Doroth. Schwartz_, Paul Kleinschmied's wife, died in childbed, and was buried with a sermon on the 18th.
