My first two labours were induced (just drip on lowest dose to kickstart contractions and ARM, already dialated 1cm with #1 and 3-4cm with #2) but for this baby I am delivering at a birth centre so we are planning on it being spontaneous natural labour.

Im a bit worried that its going to feel different from an induced labour and that I wont know Im in labour until its too late to get to the hospital, as I didnt find my labours super painful until transition and they were VERY short (3hrs/90min).

For those who've had both induced and spontaneous, was there a difference in pain/contractions etc? How did you know it was time? Did your waters break first?
