Some things we can do:
1. Attend antenatal classes.
2. Ask questions once there.
3. Ask our partners what they want for their birth.
4. Shed our inhibitions: we might have to get in the tub with mum, or catch the baby. Even before that, performing perineal massage & stretching are a big part of preparing for birth. Don't be a wimp!
5. Learn the LK massage technique and practise every night on your partner!
Lots of obstetricians treat pain as a problem to be medicated away, BTW.
