Be honest!! and let them (family,doc,and nurses) know what you need even if you want them all to shut up. Lol. Don't be afraid to ask even the stupidest questions or requests.
Mentally prepare yourself before labor starts! Make sure your birth support person(s) knows how you would like to be treated and be open about what you need in the moment. Dont be afraid to question things. A light snack before heading to the hospital can be great for some women. Also, dont forget that movement and different positions can help labor progress!
My tip to make labor easier is to literally walk walk walk till you can't any more, eases the pain and makes the baby move down faster .I speeds up my labors tremendously
Mentally remember having a baby is normal, the faster baby is born the faster you're not pregnant anymore. Physically practice breathing before you can get pain relief in hospital (epidural is great!)
