I know yoga worked wonders for me. I went eight months refusing to believe that it was actually coming out. The last month, I went completely crazy switching between wanting natural and c-section because of the pain compared to being cut open. In the end, I went natural and drug free. It wasn't that I was opposed to the drugs, just that I was expecting much worse than it was... I didn't read anything, opting for complete denial and completely ignoring the actual birth options.
