Thanks Smickers, thats exactly what I was after. So basically if I have a normal pregnancy, I will be able to have a home birth. Excellent!

More questions apart from the midwives, doulas etc, patrners etc, what other support people at home births have people had. Were there too many, too few people around? Did you find you were able to keep people away (say a friend that doesn't take no for an answer) when its all happening in your own home? What pain relief are midwives able to offer during a home birth? Did mums find that they were more relaxed and didn't require (as much) pain relief compared to hospital births?

Thanks for playing 20 questions with me!!
