Epidural: yes or no ?

This is my first pregnancy and if possible, i would like to go for natural delivery with epidural. I have very low tolerance pain. However i heard epidural’s side effect can be brutal and most of the time you will tear and it can also slow down cervix opening. Those mummies who have taken epidural before, was it a good experience and do you recommend it ? And how was your experience. Im leaning towards taking it but im scared and want to know what to expect😣 For now i am 25 weeks and still under kkh subsidized. #advicepls #firsttimemom

I delivered in March and I had taken epidural. I just had immediate side effects like shivering and vomiting but no long term side effects as such. Really depends on person to person

Epi was the best thing ever. Couldn’t feel anything at all except when i was 10cm and ready to push. Just felt like a big poop cmg out except that it’s a baby 🤪
