Epidural Anxiety

Willow

I’m super nervous about getting epidural. Can anyone explain to me their experiences with it? Is it painful? Can you even feel it when you are having contraptions? I’m just nervous about getting it because I don’t like the idea of a needle in my spine and I hate needles. I’m only 20 years old and roughly 4 weeks into my pregnancy but I’m still freaked out about it. Thanks in advanced for any responses.
