I just saw this engaging video, and highly recommend it. It'll leave you feeling very positive about natural labor and birth and how you can best prepare for it.

Best exercise to prepare for childbirth

Ok, so maybe not 300 times a day without building up to it, or you might be really sore during labor. But throughout your day whenever you bend down to pick something up, just hang out there in a deep squat for a minute or two. Incorporate it in your day. Squatting 10 times a day for 2 minutes each time is a great goal. It stretches the perineum, strengthens the pelvic floor muscles, and strengthens the gluteal muscles, the ones you need to help you push out the baby.
