I would be scared to go through something so major by myself. I love my DH and want to share as much as possible privately with him but I think the need for someone with some type of experience would be necessary for us. I go to a midwife rather than an OB because they are less invasive and have less internal exams than OB's. To each their own though, someone on my board is also doing an unassisted home birth, and I think it's really interesting just not for us.
