I got my epidural at 8cm with Charlie, and I would say it was unbearable starting from 5-6 cm.
I got my epidural at 3cm with Olive, and it was already unbearable then!
When did the pain become excruciating for you?

I got my epidural at 7cm, which was when it was unbearable. But until 7cm it was tough/tiring but at 7cm, it was too much.
-
I was 4 cm dilated before I went into active labor...it was at 5 cm that they became completely unbearable (and I got my epidural shortly thereafter)!
-
I was at 0 and went to 5 pretty quickly after two doses of cervidil. The pain was too much for me at 7cm and I got my epidural soon after.
-
I think 5-6? Then I asked for my epidural and dilated to 10 in an hour! woohooooo meds
-
I was 5 cm when I got the epi.
-
I asked for the epidural at 6 cm.
-
Even though I got an epidural at 4 cm. dilated my contractions never got to excruciating. I had to have a C-section.
-
I got my epidural at 5cm with Mavrick and it was about time I got it. But for Sienna I didn't have time to get an epi and I'd say they were painful at 7cm.
-
7 or 8....I pretty much thought my body was going to explode into millions of pieces or that my back was going to break in half and I would die.
-
I was already at an 8 on my pain scale with some of my contractions when I was only 3 cm dilated! Fortunately, my contractions were still really far apart, so I had ample recovery time between contractions. I got my epidural when I was dilated to 7 cm. At that point the level of pain went up another notch, and my contractions were only 2-3 minutes apart due to having a pitocin drip. I felt like my body was being ripped open, and the incredible pressure with each contraction was just way too much.
-
I got my epidural at 4cm, but I probably could have lasted a little longer. I just didn't see the point in being in pain any longer when I knew I was planning on the epidural anyways.
-
Sad to admit, but I was 2cm and it was unbearable for me... I was fine until my water broke and then the pain went to a whole new level. I'm glad I got the epidural when I did because I was starting to feel like I was going to throw up with each contraction.
-
I arrived at the hospital at 4 cm and progressed to 10 in an hour...so there was no time for an epi. The worst pain was when my son's head crowned. It really is the ring of fire.
-
Probably 8-9. Got the epidural at 9. It's crazy how intense it was at the end.
-
Probably arou.d 7 both times however with #1 it was very gradual whereas #2 I progressed so fast I went from 0 pain to lots o pain in about 2 hours so it was easy to tell lol.
-
I was four when I got to the hospital and thought that was excruciating. It wasn't as bad as six, though! Then I got my epidural and all was right with the world.
-
I was around 5 cms with both kids when I asked for the epidural. And what a relief that was!
-
4cm. the pitocin was making everything so fast and furious!
