I plan on walking a LOT. Did this with DD's labor and it worked great until I got to the birth center and they told me I had to lie still b/c my bp was high.
I have a little book called Mind Over Labor that I'll start reading soon - it has lots of great techniques (for me, anyway). Some people do better when they "tune in" and others when they "tune out". I haven't quite figured out which is better for me yet, but "tuning out" (thinking about something else) really helped in early labor.
