Big thank you to starting the Homebirthers thread Lisa, It has been brilliant!
I would have loved to have been able to read and share my worries and frustration while planning my first homebirth.. but found you all a little too late!
I did though, still find it an invaluable resource, and a wonderful way to talk to other women who have had homebirths, or planning homebirths. I really felt this need to share and connect with other women who were in the same situations - as it can be an isolating experience at times! Some people just don't seem to know what homebirths are all about, and I just wanted to shout from the rafters about my homebirth, and how birth can be reclaimed by women.. but (hahahaha) couldn't find many people to listen to me¬! (though, I don't let that stop me vocalising in my day to day life!)
I can't remember what page number I joined in, but it was about 40 ish, and I did read the from the beginning! I remember some ladies reading the whole thing from 200 pages! Quite an achievement!
There is a massive amount of advice and stories on there, it is just invaluable! Any or all of the feelings you have or had do have about your birth, someone is there to echo your thoughts, and reassure you!
Swear it is the friendliest place on BnB! (I'm terribly bias)

I've just been looking back and it was snagglepat who introduced me to the thread. She also was a brilliant virtual doula for me in the beginnings of labour, as even then I was on the laptop! hahaha!
Then Mmum and I met in a debate about the possibility of the ambulance service charging for taking a pregnant women to hospital!.. and I joined in sice then.
It's really nice to look back, and see how many has changed in our lifes and how we have all been supporting each other ever since!
