Actually, my wife decided on home birth "because" she didnt want drugs. We had our first in a birthing center and they ignored all our requests( no drugs, dont cut the cord until we ask, not giving birth while laying on her back, etc...). The pain was actually less at the two home births since she was in total control at all times and could give birth in whatever position she was comfortable with.
That said, home birth is not something to enter into lightly. We did much research before we were ready, and knew the risks as well, minimal though they may be. If your wife (and you) are truly thinking along these lines, let me know, as I am sure my wife and I would be willing to pass along some helpful info.
