Who are they kidding?

My fear of epidurals is an order of magnitude greater than my fear of labor pain. I have a history of a bad back and want nothing to do with the potential fetal or maternal complications. That said, I am still a bit nervous at the prospect of a natural childbirth. I decided to do some good old fashioned internet research on the topic. In an article on Discovery's Health site, entitled 'Natural relief for labor pain', they suggest I ask for a hug, and some emotional support. I have no delusions about how much easier this process will because of how amazingly supportive Tyson is, but I was hoping for some more in depth advice.

'Honey, you are the cutest beached whale I've ever seen. Go get 'em'
'Dude, it totally doesn't hurt anymore'
