Hi there
Noticed that quite a few of us who are now pregnant are planning or thinking about home birth - katherine, motherinferior, princesspeahead, www etc. I'm just 17 weeks now and very undecided about what to do, so would welcome hearing other's thoughts and views. What has motivated your choice? What are your greatest worries/fears/hopes? What is the deal in your area re midwife care - do you feel confident in your midwives? Lots of other thoughts but that should do for now...

sweetkitty, go for it. I don't regret it, not a bit. I can't think what reasons anyone could give you for not going for it.

I've just skimmed back over this thread and SO many of us went on to have successful home births after posting here: me, MI, pph, Rhubarb (I think), Bozza, Angemother and loads of others.
