I did for DC1 and am hoping for another with my current pregnancy.
I have to be honest, I found it really hard. My labour was quite long (30 hours from waters breaking) and the midwives said it was quite an intense difficult one (maybe they were just being nice!) In the late stages I progressed at a rate of about 0.5cm every 2 hours. I did pretty well in the early stages and was 7cm when I first called them. Gas and air was helpful for an hour or two, then didn't do much after that. I did have a pool but the midwives said they thought it was slowing things down a bit and as I was already progressing quite slowly they advised me to get out, so I was only in it for about an hour. It was REALLY helpful for pain relief though, I want to have a water birth this time, I hope.
When I finally got to fully dilated, my pushing stage was absolutely fine, 30 minutes, no tears at all, placenta delivered naturally about half an hour later.
Some of the huge benefits I got - no transferring, felt in control and very safe the whole time, midwives were lovely and attentive but also unobtrusive, my DP was really really involved in a way I don't' think he'd have been in hospital, he never left me. I probably avoided some intervention given the length of my labour and that is a positive for me. After the birth there were so many positives … easy, stress free breastfeeding with all the time and comfort in the world, cuddled up in my own bed with DP and baby, my own bath, huge bowls of proper food, champagne!!, I have lovely pictures of us all cuddled up in pjs in bed looking so happy. My postnatal care was good, the midwives came daily (twice daily for the first couple of days) and a breastfeeding counsellor rang me and offered to come round if I needed her, was very impressed with that. They did all the newborn checks at home so the only thing I needed to go to the hospital for was the hearing test (at about 3 weeks old).
I recovered so quickly, was walking around the same day, went to the shops on day 3, was back to running(!!) by week five (that was a bit silly).
I would highly recommend it; but I just wanted to add my experience as most accounts seem to be of fast, easy labours. Mine was neither! But I did manage.
ps. My cat did try to eat my placenta.
