What does Epidural feel like

I have decided to get epidural when im giving birth in weeks to come. How does epidural feels like? Is it painful when they insert it ? I read quite a few say it feels like current going down the legs. And any side effect afterwards? Like shivering etc? If we’re shivering, will it affect us when trying to push ? #FTM

to be honest, i was in so much pain that when they do the epidural i dun feel anything. just make sure u doesnt move when they are injecting the needle at the back. aft awhile the effects kick in and im like in heaven. no pain at all and i can finally sleep in peace. no shivering but i did vomit a few times, which is better than contraction pain. when giving birth, u actually will feel abit of pain so u can push. but my leg still couldn't really move, really numb.
