They are very rare and not a single study documents the rate at which these happen suddenly at attended low risk homebirth.

It happens so rarely that the rate of death from AFE (1/1, 000,000) and cord prolapse (1/100, 000) at homebirth is a miniscule fraction of the maternal mortality (1/5, 000) and perinatal mortality (1.7 / 1000) from elective cesarean surgery in hospital (34).

Partly OT: what happens when you have a bad homebirth story (no lasting consequences, thankfully), see the new studies, look at yourself and say with certainty that had this data been available, you wouldn't have made a choice to homebirth but you still support it for low - risk women in UK and Canada fashion?

Unfortunately, even if a problem at a homebirth is due to something like an unavoidable genetic defect, people will say, «That would have never happened at the hospital!»

Again, couldn't we simply explore this to learn how homebirths could be safer for those moms who have been previously scarred by hospitals (including losing an older child in a hospital birth — yes, it happens) or for those who for whatever reason choose to birth at home?
