LOL LLR. There's not a darned thing you can do to guarantee a natural birth. My son, for example, was breech (feet first) and no matter what we did he wouldn't move from that position, and then when he came 5 weeks early we didn't have a choice but to go for a c-section.
Other reasons for c-sections are if the baby or mother are in trouble (pre-eclampsia, umbilical cord wrapped around the neck, etc) if the mother doesn't dilate, if the mother hemorrhages and the baby has to come out quickly, etc etc etc.
The best thing you can do is prepare yourself mentally that the birth probably won't go the way you want it to. Baby's and the Mum's body have their own ideas :)
