water birth?

this is my second pregnancy and I want to enjoy every minute as I never did with my first due to family etc. I was really set on a water birth in hospital but now I don't know whether to have a water birth at home? have any of you ladies had water births and if so did you have it at home or hospital? what was your experience like?

Are you in the US? In the UK they let you labour and give birth in water :)

I had a water birth at home. Was able to birth in the water. It was an amazing experience. Lots of times hospitals won't actually allow you to birth in water the will only allow you to labor in water.
