Hi Mummato2

I have had both,

My DS was born at 39wks via induction, started with putting the tape on my cervix that started contractions straight away then 12hrs later was taken down and put on a monitor then the drip was started. i had a 22hr labour that went by text book induction labour with no complications. I didnt have pain relief either. was straight forward and my body did all the work on its own.

My DD was a spontanious labour at 41wks was 6hrs but a boring labour lol my contractions never regulated because the cord was wrapped around her neck so therefore i was going in and out of labour, i had my waters broken and she was born 36mins later. No pain releif

as far as pain goes - Labour without the drip is FAR MORE easy, the pain was alot less and i was able to move around.

I wouldnt worry too much about not getting to hospital in time, once you know your labour has started go in and you will be fine.

My personal oppinion after my 2 births is that a non induction is fair more comfy and less pain and less intense.

I def prefer a non induction labour but only on the comfy front.

Good luck and no matter which option you choose its what you want so will be the best for you.
