During labour at home (didn't get to hospital till 9cm dialated) I said to DH "I reckon I could have this baby here - it just feels right". The way things turned out I probably could have. When I discussed homebirth with a midwife friend she said one good reason to have it at a hospital is that someone else cleans up the mess LOL!!! That's the only thing I think that is stopping me from contemplating number 2 at home. Maybe I will get brave with number 3 though......
