Tom Riddle was not born in "these days" If you look back to the '20's '30's and '40's there were still plenty of babies born in the home. (I have a friend born in the late '50's who was born in the front bedroom of her grandmother's house with no doctor). Even babies born in the hospital during these times with any medical complications or moms with complications were at risk. Just walk through the "baby section" at your local cemetery and you will see plenty of baby graves from this time period. 
 
The wizarding world is a magical place but there are plenty of things that can kill people just like in our world. Sudden infections, complications from illnesses, heart attack, accidents, suicide, murder. Those in the wizarding world would be subject to other maladies as the rest of us with human bodies such as stroke, high cholesterol , illness due to tobacco or alcohol abuse etc. No one has ever said that the staff at St. Mungo’s can bring people back from the dead
