Oh how lovely..home births are like no other.. as I have done hospital births as well ...but home births are very very magickal..I would recommend a midwife and a doula as midwifes usually don't show up until real movement begins..where as a doula is there months before the birth...and the moment you call on her/him till the very end and afterward...and yes..I have the honor of meeting truly beautiful and amazing people during one of the most profound moments of their life. blessings*
