In the case of my daughter, an uncomplicated pregnancy almost resulted in her death. She had severe MAS when she was born and could not use her lungs. It took a team of nurses and a doctor to keep her alive long enough for a medivac to another hospital with a NICU3. She ended up on ECMO (life-support) for 10 days and a respirator for another week after that.

I have zero doubt that had she been born at home she would have died or had severe brain damage before she could get to a facility capable of saving her.

I am a huge opponent of having children away from medical facilities.

As the GP said, it's uncomplicated until it isn't.
