How I did it: I prepared myself mentally, emotionally, and physically. I read a lot of books on many different subjects about birthing. It's really important to have a good birthing team who will support you and that you feel comfortable with.  Have faith in your body, it was meant to do this.  It's also very important to take care of yourself during your pregnancy.    

Resources: I took a hypnobirthing class that helped me enormously.  My midwife was also spectacular!
