A home birth just isn't for me and is not something I would ever consider. Having gone through birth once already I was quite happy to be at the hospital surrounded by nurses and doctors. When I was in labour all I wanted was to go to the hospital and when they sent me home the first time I was quite upset. I was sooo relieved when my water broke and i was allowed to check in. It was quite messy and painful and I would not want to go through that at home. It was nice to have nurses to look after me and the baby for a few days and then be able to leave that all behind me and come home.
