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

initially didnt want to take epi cos i tot my pain tolerance is high and kinda wanna try to endure. however as i did induction, the pain was managable yet crampy. and to think if i can endure for a long time is tough so i decided to went ahead. had 2 injections as the first one has blood flowing thru so redo. pain is ok, and instant pain relief aft that. i just felt v numb on my legs. aft giving birth, i vomitted and v v v tired.
