Nope. I wanted that. But I live in Louisiana and there is no place for a water birth in my state. The closest one is Texas.

Usually in early labor they can give you something to take the edge off, depending on your labor and when.

I was given my epidural at about 8-10 hours into my labor before they broke my water and right after they started Pitocin, and they gave me two extra doses before I pushed to make sure I was good (the only time I really felt my labor, due to how she was positioned) my doctor is big on pain reliefs and doesn't like his patients to be in pain if they don't want to be so he always order an extra dose while pushing, but he lets you choose if you want it when you start or when your starting to finish pushing. I'm grateful for that.

I'm doing a natural birth with a midwife personally, but I know there's IV painkillers, epidural, walking epidural, local anesthesia (I don't know if/how it's different from an epidural), and of course an elective C-Section.

Some hospitals will provide bathtubs you can birth in, while some also provide squatting bars and saline locks so you can move around during labor. But how you actually deliver (in terms of positioning) is totally up to the OB from what my OB told me. If they want you on your back, that's where you'll end up in terms of birthing position options.

Honestly it depends more on your doctor. Nurses and hospital. There are tons of options that doesn't mean you will be given any of them. Look into your hospitals birth stats it'll have c section rate and other things like that. That will give you a better idea of what kinda birth they expect you to have.
