Where are you having your baby? I'm switching to a birth center and they have tubs so you can have the option to do water birth during labor. I've been watching the business of being born on netflix and it's a nice way to get some sped up info and encouragement (there is so much online to read and I've got a bunch of books to finish still!).
Check out the Bradley method, especially if you have a rock of a support person. Don't get to discouraged about the prices of the classes, there is plenty of reading material online and the books are great!!
