Any tips and tricks. I used laughing gas and screamed the entire time not gonna lie. I just didn’t know what the helk was going on. Please help me have a better experience with this one I’m pregnant with now. I’m getting fixed after this one I don’t want it to be traumatic.

First of all, I'm so sorry 😞 that must've been so difficult. I really hope this birth will be a better experience.
Look into hypno birthing. I used a labor comb and had a doula that helped with hip and back squeezes. Also I gave birth in the water, that helped immensely. My best advice is be prepared, read Ina May Gaskin, practice with ice in your hand, breathing, relaxing, and it'll be better. I only have this one experience of going unmedicated but lucky for me it wasn't traumatic, it was beautiful.
I would suggest reading the book - The Postive Birth Book by Milly Hill. The best thing you can do is educate yourself on what’s going to happen and what your options are so you are more in control of what’s happening
