Epidural

Hi mummies. Can i check , epidural insert in no pain when giving birth? My friend told me that when she’s pushing out her baby that time, the nurse dropped her epidural dosage. And she could feel the pain strongly when she’s pushing baby out. Is it supposed to be this way?

Supposed to drop the dosage so you can feel the contraction coming on, and know when to push. I felt that sensation was 10% of a real contraction without epidural, because I went through labour both with and without help from the epidural. But I guess people also interpret pain differently, so all our experiences, including yours, may differ from one another:)
