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

Both are not painful at all, at most some discomfort. Contractions are way way worse, especially when you hit 4-5cm dilated so suggest you request for epidural when you’re 3cm.
