1. Great pre-natal education (you are very lucky to have the active birth centre in the UK!). Read the right books, speak to the right people and watch some great natural birth DVD's - they show you how possible it really is.
2. Continuous & known birth support (including making sure you mingle with a cheersquad for the birth you want!)
3. Consider having a home birth - very low rates of medication, often shorter labour, very high rates of natural birth, next to no intervention including caesareans (around 1.5%) and that nurturing care you get from a midwife, at home is gorgeous.
