I know i have awhile to think but I'm really curious and honestly I'm not really informed about any of this. I don't know what to expect in general with the birthing. I'm nervous and i know ill be a good young mother, but i just wanted to see if anybody had past experiences of any of these things and wanted someone to explain some of it.

Honestly, you should discuss it with your Dr. Most of it, you won't know until you get there.Have a "plan" but be aaware that plan in going to change. You have to see how much pain you can handle when it comes, you'll have to see what position works best for you; Google "packing a hospital bag for birth" to get lots of info.  Try not to be scared! You'll be surrounded by help when the time comes, it'stheir job! :)

The best thing would probably be for you to take a hospital tour because some hospitals provide different things and it depends on the room because some serve for everything while other you need to switch. Also it usually depends on the doctor for different birthing positions. Epidural depends on you. I just went in wih an open mind after knowing all the risks and such and went with the flow because everyones labor experiences are different.
