Does all labour need iv drip ?

[capriciousladys]

Hey mummies , does all mummies need to iv drip like poking the needles , at your hand ? While you're going to labour ?

Depends what it is for. I tested positive for strep b in both pregnancies so had to have antibiotics through needle in hand during labour and birth. It was uncomfortable but was free to move around during labour

if you are using epidural, need to be on drip to prevent some condition.
