Research isn't great but it seems to show that home births are more risky than hospital births
I wonder if home births can ever be safer/less risky than a hospital birth.
My wife had emergency surgery (not all cesareans) with each of my kids but even if you just take the first time when she was low/no-risk, she would most likely be dead if she'd chosen to give birth at home. Both me and her were also born by emergency caesarean, so I might be a bit biased in favour of hospitals here though ;-)
