Is It Safe To Have Homebirth With Brachycephaly?

Hello, I'm 40 wks pregnant, I had two ultrasounds completely normal measurements for a baby girl, then a few days ago I had another ultrasound to be sure I could deliver at home and they said my baby could have brachycephaly.
Im wondering why it came out of nowhere and if it is still safe to have a homebirth.
