Home and water births

I am seriously thinking of having a home birth or water birth at home. My fi is against it and wants a hospital birth at the hospital he was born in at Newport Beach, Ca.
I'm due December 25 of this year. I've been doing loads of research and hospitals make me very uncomfortable anyway...I want the birth of my first child to be relaxed. Can any of you ladies tell me about your experiences if you had a water/home birth, whether it be your own or witnessing a friend or family member? I would greatly appreciate all anecdotes, tips, suggestions in relation to what did or didn't work for your home or water birth. Thank you :D
