Cord wrapped around the neck is quite common actually, the occurence is about 1 in 3 babies. It’s normally nothing to be concerned about, as blood flow is not hindered, even if it’s wrapped around twice. This would be no reason to not give birth at home.
Misconceptions or fears like this make people totally dependent on hospitals, which is IMO a shame - it hinders making a well informed decision (weigh actual risks vs benefits).
