    Ryn, I will post some stats so he can see how much safer you will be at home then There are less rates of PPH at home too - there is no synto use (a drip to speed up labour) which is linked to it, there is just a so low rate of intervention, and if you need to transfer thats okay, but transfer rate is really low anyway. Midwives are so capable! Here is some Vitamin K information. It's actually a UK midwifery discussion.

    It's still early days, maybe he just needs some confidence and information to reassure him it will be okay. Watch some homebirth DVD's / videos with him, so he can see how interactive dad is and how beautiful it is, compared to how it will be in hospital. Perhaps dont tell him the birth DVD's you bought are homebirth ones, just say you bought some and want to watch them with him and see his reaction
