I was 4cm when I was induced. Got my epidural at 7cm

When I asked for one, they checked and told me I was 9cm. I changed my mind at that point, but they still offered it. It must depend on the hospital, you could ask them.

It honestly depends on the hospital your at. Some will do it at 9 cm, depending on how fast you’re increasing. Most won’t go past 7 cm. But, all in all if you plan on getting the epidural go as long as you can without it and then get it, in my opinion. I’ve heard enough horror stories, lol. You don’t want the chance of it not kicking in enough or it wearing off before birth.

I got mine at 8 with my first baby.

At the hospital I delivered at, and one closer to me that my friend delivered at, they will not administer an epidural if you’re 7cm or more dilated.

I think it would be too late if you dilate quicker than a centimeter every 30 minutes.

I still got mine at 9 with my first baby.

I was dilating quick with my second. I got the epidural at about 6cm but it didn't kick in fully until after I had my daughter. I'm afraid with my third I won't have time to get it. But I let the nurses know that when I was able to get it I wanted it lol

I was still offered the epidural at a 9 x
