Given the option, I would probably prefer to have a natural, spontanious labour next time. I think all the pre-labour or early labour you experience with a natural labour would help get your body used to what contractions feel like, however at the end of the day an induced labour was what I had and what got my little girl safely into the world.
So in my book, a healthy bub and a healthy Mum was all that I wanted at the end of my labour.
Congratulations!!! Great birth story and can I just say what a great attitude you have!

You are so right - healthy bub and healthy mum is most important.

Enjoy your newborn snuggles with beautiful Willow!
