Not for my case at KKH. I was in pain from 9+pm - 4+am before getting the epidural. The nurse said that I can only get epidural after dilation to a certain cm (can't remember the exact number, 3cm maybe?).

Yep I was about 3cm dilated when in labour ward. The nurses immediately asked me if I wanted epidural and advised me to request early as they need 45mins-1h to process it.

Yes, just ask for epidural immediately and they will pass you a form to fill up. It takes time for the doctor to come too. Ask for it early

Yes you can:) but you’ll need to give the anaesthetist some time to get there. In the meantime, you can ask for the laughing gas while waiting.

I think can ask immediately. Bcs if 5-7cm dilated cnnt take epi alrdy.

Yes you can but best to book your anesthesiologist early...

Yes, I had painless labour and delivery.

Yes u can.
