Took epi for my 4th child as I was GBS positive and was on IV for almost half a day while on labour. What I dislike about epi is that it slows down labour and I lost my ability to push as it was numb down there. Had to stop the epi so I can feel the urge to push.

I also lose the ability to push but my gynae guided me so it was not difficult. I decided to take epidural for this 3rd pregnancy as I'm already 41 and I don't think my body at this age can take it without epidural. with my first 2 I didn't take any but back then I was just in my 20s. Although I had itch and slight shivers as a side effect of epidural it was manageable. I've no regrets.
