I am due very soon and want another natural birth, what I don't want is to be frightened or tense.

So what I would like is some things that helped you with birthing naturally. No gas no other forms of drugs! Please for the sake of my situation I only want posts from people that have been through it. I can google and get all the different ways but I want to know what has really helped a lady in labor not what could work. IYKWIM

Anything that helped you relax

Anything that helped ease the pain which will also help you to relax.

My labours have been 39 the first and 23hrs for the second so I have been told I could be in for the long haul. I really don't want to head for the bed and stay there because it is my comfort zone..
