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

Epidural just makes my bottom half feels numb.. they inject the anesthesia before injecting epidural, so no pain or wadsoever. No current going down my legs etc, it’s the best Jab I’ve had, coz the dilation check is no longer painful..!! (I induce for 3 days before Emergency Csect)
