I would have really liked to read a thread about this prior to having my little baba, as it happens I watched Mrs Norris’ video on having a home birth for her DS3 and a few others on YouTube. Anyway I had a planned homebirth, used gas and air, and 4 hour active labour (12 hour latent before I got to 4cm) please ask me anything you want to know about a planned homebirth (especially for your first!)
