there is no "no-risk" place to give birth ! there is always a risk, just like when you cross the street...now we look around and do "everything possible" to minimize the risk, don't we ?
same for childbirth, let's minimize the risk by going to the safest place, which would be variable for each woman.

personnally, i had a planned unassisted homebirth for my second child, and i wouldn't change a thing for a third one, except having LC diet (evolving slowly to moderate carb during the pregnancy).
