Homebirth - anyone had a bad one, or regretted their decision to have one?

I have had both my babies at home and both times it was a brilliant experience. I have heard so many sad and horrible stories from women about their hospital births, I wonder how much of my good experience was from being at home. Hardly hear about homebirths that have 'gone wrong'. If this is the case, why doesn't the NHS encourage more homebirths?

Nicky Wesson wrote Labour Pain (not specific to HB but EXCELLENT)... she has also written Home Birth- but I haven't read that one... however I suspect it is a good book if the other one is anything to go by.
Check if your library has either.

There are also scientific studies and al but that's not exciting reading...
