There is a really great article entitled Real Birth at Home ... no bells; no whistles! by a blogger that calls herself Kneeling Woman. Here is a small excerpt of what she has written ...
I never thought that birth needed special equipment or classes on "how to do it". My experience has always been that birth happens quite well on it's own and every woman will have her own way of laboring and birthing. As I've written before; birth happens. Some women like to have a lot of people around; some don't. Some women talk all the way through labor; some don't. Some couples are very physical and close during the labor; some are not. I have no "birth ball" or "birthing stool". I don't have women do any kind of herbal or homeopathic preparation for labor nor do I prescribe any particular "regime" regarding diet or exercise; I expect women to eat well and take good care of themselves but I don't believe in getting my ( or anyone else's ) knickers in a twist about how many grams of protein they ate today or going through their cupboards looking for the hidden box of fruit loops! Likewise, I assume that the labor will unfold in it's own, unique, individual way for each woman; and it does.
