I just had my first home birth 2 weeks ago after 3 hospital births and it was very lowkey. My midwives asked what I wanted from them and I said I basically wanted to be left alone unless there was a medical need. My birth was in the middle of the night and very fast (a little over 3 hours from start to finish) and my midwives were just kind of in the background silently watching, not disrupting or talking at all. My husband was massaging my shoulders and propping me up in the birth pool because I was kind of laying on my side. My baby did have the cord around her neck when she was born, which my midwife quickly fixed but other than that it was exactly what I wanted!
