Ladies who had an epidural, help?

I think im most likely going to get the epidural as I think it would be the best option for me. The only thing that puts me off having the epidural is I'm scared I'm not going to be able to push properly. Which will then lead to baby getting distressed or something and then having to be cut or need vacuum/forceps. I just want to know how was the pushing part for you? Could you feel when you needed to push? How long were you pushing for? And did you need to have vacuum/forceps/episiotomy? TIA 😙
