Worried 😟! Is IV drip more painful than epidural?

Currently Wk33, starting to get worried about labour pain. Mummies who has given birth before, can you let me know is the IV drip more painful than epidural ? Super low tolerance and afraid of needles 💉. #advicepls #firstbaby

Not painful! Feels like ant bites. For me the only pain I felt was when they put in the needle to put the IV drip cos my veins are always hard to find and always need to be poke a no. of times. Other than that no pain. Contraction is extremely painful than the needles.
