I dunno if I quite agree.

There’s a happy middle ground where hospital births are the rare occurrence and not the routine default.

    Nah.

    It’s great to have hospital as a fallback for emergencies but there’s problems with hospitals themselves too.

    The answer is to fix the hospital issues, not to play Russian roulette with mothers lives. "Fallback" is no good if the mother is bleeding out, or the baby is not breathing, and the hospital is 10 minutes away. Every second counts.
