Punishing people thousands of generations removed who have no responsibility seems sadistic and cruel. If that's how God operates then why not do slave reparations? Why not do a huge series of land swaps to give land back to descendants of original owners even if the taking happened 2000 years ago? Who cares how much it hurts people who weren't even born yet; apparently God thinks that is just fine. The sins of the father fall on the great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandson forever.
Human childbirth is terrible because we walk upright and the four-limb vertebrae with pelvis+spine design is built for quadrupedal movement. The changes necessary to make bipedal movement work (combined with larger complex brains) make childbirth difficult. A case of competing requirements that can't be improved without redesigning the entire skeletal structure from scratch - something a God could trivially do but evolution has trouble with over such a short time span.
The nutritional requirements for a large brain plus quirks of our evolutionary path are also responsible for menses/monthly cycles. That is literally a mechanism to flush out fertilized embryos that may not be well-formed. It is extremely uncommon in animals. Most animals that have some need to pause or terminate fetal development do it cooperatively; the mother's chemical signals will command the fetus to slow, stop, or even kill itself and the fetus obeys. Humans are among the extreme few where mother-fetus interactions are adversarial.
Miscarriages are relatively common for the same reason: a human baby is expensive and hard on the mother. Any hint it might be developing incorrectly and better to dump it so we can start over.
Let's not even get to the fragile disaster that is the human back.
