Epidural

Can mothers who have taken the epidural share the experience of administering the epidural? Is it painful? My pain threshold is very low :( At how many cm dilation do you administer it? Any side effects?

For me it was painless because the doctor put on laughing gas for me Mine was only 1cm dilate despite contractions was very strong, nurses will advise to let them know earlier because during wee hours, doctors may need more time to come over to the hospital. No side effects for me

The laughing gas works for me, it takes effect pretty fast, I was like in a “dreamlike” stage, and doesn’t feel anything
