Natural hospital birth

Paige
This is my second baby. With my first, I delivered at a hospital and had an awful epidural. I remember the pain of getting the epidural more than actual child birth which I could really feel case my epidural was wearing off and they didn't want me pushing the button again before pushing. Anyway, this time I really don't want to get an epidural but I want to deliver at the hospital because I absolutely LOVE my doctor. For those of you ladies that have had an unmedicated hospital birth, what are some tips you can give me to prepare for labor? I always assumed I would have an epidural so I never looked into natural.
