I am delighted to have you joining the discussion. If you have continued interest in researching home birth, I suggest:

Fullerton JT, Navarro AM, and Young SH. Outcomes of planned home birth: an integrative review. J Midwifery Womens Health 2007;52:323-33.

I also suggest my deconstruction of the Pang 2002 home birth study, an extremely flawed study that is being used as evidence of the riskiness of home birth. The link Maria posted (I'm not sure whether it is in this thead or only in the home birth topic "two questions" thread) also has a superb discussion of home birth issues.
