I'll be doing the epidural thing, but my mom did a lot of natural births, tried a couple different techniques, and she ended up liking the Bradley method best.





I think you just have to find what sort of pain management techniques work best for you. Do some research on different techniques, and what I would suggest is that you practice them on some random pain you may have to get an idea of what's most effective for you.





Like I said earlier, I'm going for the epidural, but I've also learned some meditation techniques that I've used for some non-pregnancy related chronic pain that's been really effective for me (I'll be using that too) - but it took lots of practice to get it work this well, so my biggest advice is practice, practice, practice.

Be a good source of support and be encouraging. Most women like to have good, steady back message. A warm shower or bath can greatly reduce the pain of labor. Helping the mom to move around and walk/squat will also help to shorten the length of labor. This website has some great advice on birthing naturally.
