Epidural pain.

How much does an epidural hurt? Thanks!

It depends on each person's pain threshold, some people find it very painful, others only feel a prick. It also depends on how gentle the nurse who gives it is!
It's hard to give you an objective answer, but most people can bear it without too much trouble.
