Yes but hospitals are an essential part of Enumeration At Birth.
Government loves anything that assists its people-tracking machinery. It will never ever ever discourage pregnant women from doing something that would make reliable Enumeration At Birth more difficult.
Hospitals are also quite good for giving birth, because human bodies are extraordinarily bad at giving birth.
As fun as it sounds to go back to 25-50% infant mortality, I would prefer we keep this in hospitals and do cesarian sections and other interventions when necessaru.
