What helped you through labour?

I know many FTM's are very worried about labour and i was too when I went through it the first time. A friend told me that during her contractions, her husband timed the contractions and let her know  when she was half way through. I remember trying this with DH and it really did help significantly. This way, I knew the worst was over and it seemed to help me get through it. 

Anyone else have any other tips to share that helped with labour?
