Too old for home birth?

Hi everyone, I have no idea if there's a top age limit on having a baby at home, I'm 38, does anyone know the answer? Thanks and ps I think 38 isn't old!!!!

Absolutely not!!! I was 36 when I had mine (after 2 previous forceps deliveries) but you wouldn't get me near a hospital if we have another baby (am 38 now).
I know they don't like you to have one if you are over 40 due to increased risks but it is still your choice. xx
