Does an epidural help with pain

Does an epidural take away the pain of labor and pushing?

I’m almost 30 and some of my peers are starting to have kids but suddenly I’m scared of the pain! Does an epidural help at all or maybe the adrenaline is so high that the pain doesn’t hurt?

I’m curious because seeing how much it hurts is making me want to not have a baby or get a csection.
