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

Iv drip is more painful.. I felt the pain constantly in my hands whereas the epidural is only like an ant bite at that point when they inject the needle into your spine. After which you basically can’t feel any pain from the lower part of your body but upper part still have sensation.
