There are those who have home births in risky situations and these are more likely to end up in the hospital and as you work in a hospital setting, these are possibly your experience with home births. There are many, many more home births that happen that hospital practitioners are completely unaware of, and I would be willing to assert that there is not much difference in outcomes for those who are having normal pregnancies. In my family there have been ten at home births, from six women, no problems with any of them and doctors are completely unaware that these women were even pregnant. I had an ancestor who was a Frontier midwife that attended nearly 600 births, without a single loss.
Admittedly, there are women who have the mindset, homebirth no matter what, and will find someone willing to perform a birth even if they have something like placenta previa or other known likely dangerous complication.
