It's only natural to wonder what labor and delivery will be like, even if this isn't your first baby.
Every pregnancy is different and so is every labor and delivery.
Childbirth classes can be a very good way for a couple to answer many of the questions that they are sure to have. In these classes they will also learn breathing and relaxation techniques that will help ease labor along. You will also want to discuss your concerns with your physician. Don't be afraid to ask questions, even if they seem silly to you. Be assured that your doctor will have heard them before.
