This is the one thing my wife regrets from her first birht - she was unexperienced, and just acceptet what the nurses said/told her to do - not what felt natural.
Her second time was much better. She listened to her body, not the nurses - and did everything her way. When she asked for some pain medication she scared the nurse - because when she came back (didn't take long) our boy was on his way out. No medication at all - but when the head was out she calmly asked for a glass of water, drank it, and gave the final push! (Like it was an everyday thing for her)
Visit the hospital in advance, get to know how they can assist you during labour/birth. Make a "wish-list" of how you want your delivery and bring it with you to the hospital. Your body is made for this, your body knows what you need, only you can listen to your body - you are in charge!!
Have a nice birh!
