The initial reason was due to myself labouring extremely fast and preferring to birth at home rather then in a car with the added bonus of being medically/mentally prepared instead of unplanned.

Now after home birthing unassisted (lol no planned unassisted) I couldn't imagine going back to a hospital. Was bliss to just shower and settle in our home after the birth. Now when I sit in my lounge room I tell my baby girl that she was born right there!!
