That is, if it's medically assessed as a low-risk birth (definitely not breech), and attended by a medically competent professional, then the outcomes are equivalent to low-risk births in US hospitals
But all the home births I've been near were done on principal, with little to no medical assessment, and a doula (or pseudo-doula? Idk) without actual medical training. The people I've seen do them have all been "science is a lie" types
