Hi, I want a homebirth. I've been told I'll have a midwife come to my house at about 32 weeks so she can look around, make suggestions etc. Then she'll leave me with a list of things I will need, i.e. old bed sheets, plastic protectors, towels and what ever else. The midwife said that really they bring everything you are going to need anyway so I shouldn't worry too much about going out to buy additional sheets or covers etc. Have you mentioned wanting a homebirth to your care providers yet? They should arrange a home visit with you prior to delivery so you both know the set-up and what will happen, it's an hour long appointment so I imagine it's quite in-depth. They usually don't do them before 32 weeks incase you have a premature delivery as then they would want you (understandably) in hospital to deal with what ever baby might need after the delivery. You might find local home birthing support groups in your area too that can help, advice etc. I joined mine 2 weeks ago and it's been invaluable. I'm sure something like the NCT might be able to point you in the right direction for local support groups etc.
