I just had a hospital birth after 3 hb's and I can honestly say home birth is worth it in every sense for me. My hospital birth was pretty "normal" but I was so out of control and out of my comfort zone. I had 3 days of anxiety attacks after which I have never had surround a birth before.
At home I was relaxed and comfy and my births ran smoothly. And the birth pool is a thousand times better than the epidural!
