FT; I think staying at home for as long as possible is a great idea. With DS I was induced and had a very traumatic birth. With DD I stayed home as long as I felt I could handle it, when I got to hospital I was almost 8cms. DD was born 90 minutes after we arrived at the hospital. DS was with us for the birth. The hospital had a early discharge program so we went home 6 hours after DD was born. It all just went perfectly. I plan to stay home as long as possible with this one has well. My midwife has told me to call her if things happen too quickly to make it to the hospital. I don't know what she would but.
