I had 2 induced, then my 3rd was natural, spontaneous labour. It was heaps, heaps better. Not necessarily in terms of pain, but it was just altogether a much better experience. The contractions started off small and gradually built in intensity, so I knew exactly what was happening, unlike when I was induced where I went from nothing to full on contractions. My labour didn't go longer either, it was on a par with my previous births, lasting 4 hours.
