I opted for the epidural before the drip started and didnt feel anything. I wanted to save my energy to push and delivered naturally.
I had it but they didn’t do the increase as much as they said they would and then all the docs came in and said if I don’t get to 10cm in the next hour we are going to csection. I was at 7cm but I knew 3 in an hour made no sense possible. I’m still annoyed they never mentioned I’d highly likely go to Csection or it seemed they pushed it on me by not trying with the drip and giving the interval increase they said they would increase each hour. Coming out of that experience I very much felt they push csections.
i had it for 4 hours before going to c section ( baby pooped soo risk of infection was too high) and at worst the contractions were like really bad period cramps, nothing i couldn’t handle with a little gas and air
