How to give birth naturally
It made me
euphoric 
"Quite possibly the most difficult yet most important thing I've ever done."
How I did it: I chose to give birth with a midwife at a birthing center (would've gone for a homebirth had we not been moving 5 weeks later and thus living among a sea of boxes at the time) so I didn't have the option of medication or pain intervention.
Lessons & tips: Prepare yourself mentally beforehand. I found that once I'd come to terms with the pain it was very manageable. The process was far more intense than painful, in my opinion. Practice breathing deeply, focusing in on your breathing and remaining calm.
Resources: The Hypnobabies curriculum was very helpful. I recommend their entire series.
