Natural water birth

I'm 34w2d and am also planning on a natural water birth - i hate taking meds and similar to you, I hate the thought of a needle in my back so I know that this alone will push me very far in my natural labour & birth. I have recently started training to make myself more physically fit and increase my stamina by doing 30-60mins of yoga a day as well as practising squatting (generally whenever i need to bend, i squat instead!) to develop my leg strength because I have read that squatting is the best/ least painful position to give birth in. I am also practicing positions on my birthing ball to help backache as well as doing pelvic rocks 4 times a day to help move baby down! I'm a FTM so I don't know if it will all go my way and im open to the fact that it might all go a completely different way and I will have no control over that. But the biggest thing that i'm doing to prepare myself is keeping telling myself that "I can do it!" - our bodies were made to do this and women have been giving birth long before meds! We can do this :-) don't let anyone convince you otherwise! XxxPs somebody else posted these birth affirmations on here the other day so I screen printed them and am planning on getting my husband to read them to me throughout my labour to keep my spirits high :-) xxx
