Pre-labor jitters

So I'm two days away from my due date and I'm hoping to go without an epidural. However, being my first baby, I have no idea what to expect. Idk how to deal with that intense pain. I've been looking up breathing techniques.

Anyway, I was just wondering for those women who have gone without an epidural, if you can share your tips on how to do it.

One thing I thought of was having my husband set goals for me, like - "Try going 10 more minutes without it...now 20 more...now 30 more..." and so on.

I'm tougher than I think when it comes to pain, but still have a low pain tolerance and have a hard time keeping my mind under control so some encouragement and tips would be awesome ☺️❤️
