Many couples choose home birth over hospital birth because they are more comfortable in their home. It also may be cheaper, as the hospitals charge extremely high prices for everything anymore. You dont have to pack a "hospital bag" if you have a home birth, everything you need and/or want are right there when you need them and you dont have to take baby out into the weather to get baby home if it is a season of extreme temps (cold or hot).
As for safety.... if you have a practitioner that is trustworthy and knows what they are doing a home birth is no more dangerous than a hospital birth and some people would say it is even safer as the baby wouldnt be exposed to all of the germs of ill people.

I don't know, it just sounds very dangerous. I had complicated births and both my babies and I would have probably died trying a home birth! I would NEVER recommend that~!
In responce to your first answer~ A hospital can not give you medications you do not want!

Your only 14 so why worry about such things... Plus home delivery is better for bonding with a baby.

Because hospitals tend to overmedicate. Also, it is more relaxed and comfortable for the mom.
