pk- loved the explanation/advice! the birth class i went to discussed pretty much everything you mentioned, and we practiced keeping all our muscles relaxed and those things you discussed actually. i guess that really is the way to go huh 
its nice to hear from someone that it actually works. i know here we dont get the "gas and air" option that the UK ladies do, its usually just epidural or no epidural. i know some doctors will offer injections of demerol and other narcotics as much as hourly in place of an epidural, but thats not very recommended either as it can make baby sleepy and is apparently not super effective in pain relief.
anyway, loved your description of how you did it. i think id feel the same way, wouldnt want all the music and everything. and i think that the whole "ok i can go one more hour" thing would work well for me too, im always that way when i go running. i feel terrible and i think ok i can do one more lap. hopefully i can be as strong as you with all of it! my OH said something to my in laws about how id like to avoid meds if possible, and my SIL and MIL literally think that no epidural means you will die. ugh.
