A doula may also be a consideration. A doula is there specifically to provide you with emotional support and to be your voice during labour- regardless of whether that will be at home, in a birth centre or in hospital.
I had a personal midwife for my first birth via a community based midwifery program. Her constant support before, during and after the labour at home was by far the most positive thing about my entire birth - which ended up being a hospital birth with intervention.

Best of luck. xx
