Don't go to the hosp: Anybody can have a baby at home by not going to the hospital. But unless you have a professional there during labor and delivery, and afterwards, you risk a dangerous result for both you and your baby. Talk to your OB-GYN and see what is possible in your case for safe settings for delivery in your area, a birthing center may be available.

With a midwife: For normal (not high-risk) pregnancies home births have better outcomes than hospital births but it is crucial to have a skilled midwife. Not all midwives do home deliveries but many do. See www.naturalbirthblog.com/find-a-midwife/ to help locate a good midwife. You may want to interview 2 or 3 to find one you really like. I also advise reading Ina May's Guide to Childbirth by Ina May Gaskin.
