Has anyone here been induced vs. natural labor?

Question

Hi Ladies. I’m courteous on the pain levels from being induced vs. natural labor pains. I heard that when being induced the pain is more intense. Please comment your experiences below. Thank you.

Answer

I was induced at 36 weeks with my first and my water broke at 36+6 with my second.  Induction was about 13 hours, second was 15 hours.  Had an epidural with both labors when I was about 5 cms and for me personally my second non induced labor was way more painful.  I wasn’t allowed to push for almost an hour because my cervix, while 10 cm, wasn’t completely thinned on the right side.  Fighting the urge to push was more painful than any of the pitocin induced contractions.

Answer

I was induced with my first and natural with my second. Both were painful, but I don’t recall that much of a difference. I didn’t have an epidural with either of them and had very fast labor with both. That being said, I have a high tolerance for pain. Everyone is different unfortunately

Answer

Was induced with my first two, went into labor on my own with my third. Pain was the same tbh. It just went faster when i went on my own.
