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?

I got mine injected at 6cm dilation which was actually pretty late. By then, the contractions were so strong that it totally overrode the pain of the jab, so I honestly didn’t feel anything during the epidural jab. I consoled n calmed myself by telling myself that nothing could hurt more than the contractions n the epidural is here to help relieve the pain so I shouldn’t be scared! Hope it works for you too! As for side effects, I still get abit of backache at the injection spot at 3months pp.
