scared of pregnancy

Mary
Good morning everyone,
Tomorrow is my 27th birthday. I know I will not be having a child at least for another year because I don't want to be pregnant during the summer and I am physically extremely weak.
I am also terrified about what labor is going to do to me.
Right now I'm focusing on cardio exercise and just getting under an obese BMI. Because I'm not TTC yet I haven't started the vitamins. But does anyone have any advice about the kinds of steps I can take to have a healthy pregnancy? I'm also mega scared of needles . I need specifically advice on building the muscles that will help with labor and pain reduction strategies like hypnosis (I'm highly suggestable). 
 
I will be 28 by the time I'm ttc. Us ladies don't stay young forever so any input can help. 
BTW, epidural is out of the question for me.
