anybody had a homebirth

I've posted this on the pregnancy forum, but thought I would put it here to!
I was wondering who has had a home birth here? I would love to have my second baby at home, but the main thing that is making me think twice about it is that I want to stay up at the hospital for a few days after so somebody else can cook and clean for me! (ha ha, lazy old me)
I can't see how you can get any form of rest if you have the baby at home because it must be just straight back in to it....
Anyhow, would love to hear from other Mum's who have had their babys at home and the goods and bads of it all.
