Question Celeb home birth

Sorry about my celeb obsession tonight and starting numerous threads but...

Watching Johnathan Ross last night, Charlotte Church was on and she mentioned that she had had a home birth for her daughter. It led me to wonder (and hope) if that would have the effect of raising the profile of homebirthing and even increase the rates, especially here in Wales where I guess she is far more famous.

What do you guys think and do you know of any other celebs that have had homebirths? It seems to me that most celebs opt for the 'too posh to push' option and I can't recall hearing of any other celeb having a homebirth.

Lol Noo!
I think I remember Minnie Driver saying on Graham Norton that she wanted a waterbirth... something along the lines of 'This is what women were designed for, we can do it' Good girl!
