Epidural

Can mothers who have taken the epidural share the experience of administering the epidural? Is it painful? My pain threshold is very low :( At how many cm dilation do you administer it? Any side effects?

Epidural can be administered at any point during labour and if pain threshold is low,best to have it sooner. I had the epidural when 2cm dilated. It helped me relax throughout the remaining labour duration. It's a light prick to the spine and thereafter no pain. Had side effect of slight nausea after giving birth cause I was in labour for almost 20+ hours.
