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 feel epi was more painful than my contractions cos the doct who injected into my spine was a grumpy old man. Hais. Nearly paralysed cos I moved abit due to my auto reflex. It was baddd. Then I had emergency c sect and they need to put more epi and side effects were shivering and dozing off. I heard some ppl worse, vomiting and fever. Actually my advice is to play by ear and see how on that day. It will be good if you dilate very fast and dunnid any epi.
