Epidurals experience

Hi mummies, as I am approaching deliver date, I am getting cold feet and scared. Can anyone share with me if administering epidural hurt?

You have to be very still when they administer it so you need to decide pretty quickly if you want to have it or not because once you are 6+ dilated the contractions are quite intense and hard to remain still. The doctor messed up the positioning 3 times and I felt electric currents all over my left side to the point I couldn’t feel my leg. Next doctor finally got it right and I felt pretty much no pain after. Even after my dilation increased the contractions felt super mild. Only had to push for 5 mins after that before baby was out. Although epidural worked for me, the administration was quite traumatising so really to each their own. Not sure if I would take it again for next pregnancy
