Should I take epi?

I took laughing gas and injection for the contraction pain, then requested for the epidural, but my gynae mentioned I was dilated to 6cm quite soon and can try to push soon, so can skip the epi, actually while pushing I didn't feel super pain, I dunno why though.. luckily for me, I really gave birth within 1 hr, managed to do it without epi, my wounds healed as per gynae expectations. i guess in my case, the pain was during the contraction, not when pushing the baby out..
