Worried ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ! 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 ๐Ÿ’‰. #advicepls #firstbaby

I felt more miserable with IV drip then epidural then contraction. Once IV drip is in, it will be stuck on my poor hand for hours and can't move much with that hand.... epidural insertion is fast for me.... labour also super fast. didn't even know I'm in active labour since not much pain
