I totally agree with flopsy.  Your mind can be a powerful tool to get you through labor.  I did a lot of walking down the hospital halls and did the medicine ball.  When my contractions got real strong I used the tub in the tub room I had requested checking in.  The tub had jets which you could angle.  I progressed fast in the tub. Moving is a alot more progressive than being confined to the bed, which usually happens when you receive an epidural. Also a strong supportive person helps, my husband was wonderful.

Hypno birthing. It's basically just positivity talking yourself through labor and blocking everything else out... You learn to focus your mind and keep telling yourself you were made to do this and the pain is good because you are getting closer every second to bringing a child into the world.  I'm going to try doing yoga positions through contractions, use my yoga ball and the shower.  I also want to use a squat bar.  This is my first labor and I want to do it all natural. Our bodies were made for this.
