Same as Sararose, I read lots and lots of birth stories. I also used a virtual labour "game" to help me visualise what I could experience and what I would do in those situations. It was brilliant as I ended up labouring mostly on my own at home while DH raced back from work!
Are you able to go to prenatal yoga classes? I also found that very useful in terms of breathing and staying calm and focused. I started around 24 weeks until about 35 weeks. Bubs dropped at this point and I was hard pressed walking, much less getting into half-moon pose!!!!
