john travolta and kelly preston
 
They had a terrible birth at Halifax Hospital in Daytona Beach, FL (no surprise). Then they had a homebirth in California (I think CA).  He bragged about it on one of the talk shows.
Its important to point out that they didn't  have a homebirth for privacy because they are celebrities. Some actually understand the philosophy and the home vs hospital/birth center models of care.  I suppose some celebrities do it to avoid the media.    
 
Do you know if the ones on your list all used midwives at home or did some use doctors? Cindy Schierlinger, Homebirth mother, Bradley Instructor, Midwife advocate

My name is Darjee Sahala, I am almost 26 years old and my mother had me unassisted, by choice on our, then, living room floor in Longmont, CO.  My sister, brother, and father came in for pushing and they say it was the most sacred day of their lives.  Since then, my sister has had two home births, my niece Ixchell who is now 4, and my nephew Maitreya who is 10.  I am now studying to be a midwife!!  What an impact that day had on our lives.  Already, in my education if have had the privilege of attending 40 home births and counting!!

My uncle
Jerry Goodman 5-6-42
 born at home with the family doctor to my grandmother Pauline Goodman, amazing woman who survived incredible hospital atrocities on the birth of
her second son (dad).  The doctor was late, so the nurses held her legs together when she was needing to push.  Needless to say she fully supported my homebirth choice:)

I had two of my four, now grown, children at home. Also, I was a childbirth educator and a birth assistant to a home birth MD at hundreds of wonderful homebirths in the San Gabriel Valley (near Los Angeles) during the early 80's.  I advocated for homebirth in the 80's at rallies attended by the now famous Ina Mae Gaskin, and the local press...my birth history follows:

Hospital unmedicated non-interventive birth:
(when Dads were first being allowed into delivery rooms, but only with signed childbirth class attendance cards)

Jasen Thorpe
August 3, 1973
7 lbs. 10 oz.
6 hour total active labor for a primip!
(changed Drs. at term, first OB wouldn't "allow" me to deliver vaginally, said my baby too big for me...home birth was not an option. I was happy to be given a "trial of labor"!)

Free-standing birth center birth:

Laura Thorpe
September 20, 1976
7 lbs.
2 hour labor/went home in 2 hours after that
(after "successful breech version" at term. Again, after an external version, homebirth was not an option even with an MD who did them!)

Born at home in Brea, California:

Sara Thorpe
July 27, 1980
7 lbs. 10 oz.
1 hour labor
(midwife arrived to baby crowning...nearly a do-it-yourselfer...poor Dad! I finally had my home birth!)

Born at home in Brea, California:

Adam Thorpe
April 8, 1983
9 lbs.
12 hour posterior labor
(midwife and pretty much the whole world had plenty of time to spare before the birth of this one!)

I have had a very interesting birth history...I had to "buck the system" for each and every beautiful, non-interventive, natural birthing.

But by far, my home births were the most wonderful of the four for the rest of my family! My older children, were involved in the process and the celebration!  And, as you can see from my signature below, I am still a natural birth advocate, and I only wish there were more options for home birth in my area...in the land of very conservative Orange County, California!

Yours in gentle birthing,

Carole
