im not having a homebirth , just being nosey 
but i wanted to say about the gas and air thing that as already said by another poster don't let it put you off by not having it for me i found it useful as a distraction rather than a pain relief if that make sense? i found i was biting it rather than sucking on it as it helped manage the pain for me so basically a wooden spoon would have done the same thing or some relaxing music. Good luck for your birth i really admire people who have home births i'd love one but im far too scared
