Great tips! I also had an unmedicated birth with my twins despite the pressure I received in the hospital. I had an amazing support system, including a doula that offered so many pain relieving techniques like back pressure, and thigh jiggling (as hilarious as that sounds). Affirmations were a large part of my success too. I went deep within and felt like I was tapping into the strength of all the mother's who came before me. Birth is truly an empowering experience.
