Sure! I would first find a local midwife. Schedule an interview with her, and ask any questions or voice concerns you might have. There is a good chance that the midwife you are talking to has experienced many different scenarios with delivering a baby. Midwives do come with some medical equipment when at a home birth. The only thing that they don't offer is the epidural, but they can help with pain management.

Midwives provide the expectant mother a list of materials that will be needed for the the home birth. There are also plenty of videos on youtube of women sharing their experience.

Going into labor is a lot like running a marathon. It's important to focus on your breathing... This will help your muscles stay relaxed. There are plenty of hypnobirthing videos available that offer guided meditation to help during labor. It keeps the mother focused on labor, and keeps your mind clear of any distracting thoughts during contractions.

It's also important to remember that people's attitude towards child birth has often times been influenced by the media (whether they realize it or not). Labor and delivery is not an emergency, and is not scary. The female body is designed to do this.

I gave birth at the hospital with my other children. There is a lot more pressure, stress, and distractions in that environment. What I liked most about giving birth at home is that I was in my own environment. I felt comfortable and safe. I prepared as much as I could before I went into labor that the initial fear I had was gone by the time my baby was born. I hope this helps!
