Hi there!
Im a first year Bachelor of Midwifery Student. I read your post, and thought oh my god. As a prospective Midwife i believe absolutly that it is always the womans choice where she has her child. I dont think anyone has the right to try and talk you out of where you have your child. Wanting a home birth does not make you a "hippy", and noone has te roght to judge you on the choice that you have made. If you understand the risk involved in having a home birth, but you have made the choice to have the baby at home, then everyone should accept that.
If you are 100% sure that that is how you want to experience the birth, then I believe that you should find either a midwife or whoever to help you facilitate that. I know that there are midwives around that will do this for you.

Good luck with everything, and I hope you manage to get what you want.
