vivi_ma,
I don't see any side effect. For me, with the epidural, I did not really feel the pain but also affect the ability for me to push. It might also because of the first 2 nurses who could not help me at all. After they went to have dinner and another more experienced one came, it only took me no more 45 minutes to push my boy out. Another reason would be because that I had not allowed to eat anything for at least 36 hours (my labor stopped after I're 5cm dilated for almost 1 whole days), I did not have much energy to push at the beginning but when the nurse told me that she could touch the head of my son, I knew that I must make it and finally I did. So, don't worry, if you want epidural, just use it. Don't need to burn yourself out and do concentrate.
