To get the epidural or to not get the epidural

Major question on my mind right now! My son is measuring big and I really am considering getting an epidural. Of course my stupid self had to look up videos and complications on not only myself but the baby so it makes me scared to get it. I gave birth to my first born all natural no pain meds but he was 6 pounds this next baby is going to be around 8-9! Tell me your stories with epidurals good or bad I wanna hear it all please!! On the fence about what to do.
