Induction pain versus waters breaking ahead of spontaneous labour pain?

[Takenoprisoners]

There was a thread on here recently about spontaneous labour being pretty damn painful when your waters had broken first, as you don't get that gradual build-up with the pain, but go straight into it. And the same sort of thing with an induction.

Has anyone out there experienced both, and if so, how did they compare? Was the induction pain much worse? (I had a v painful start to my last labour with waters breaking first ... due date is now here and I'm worried that if I end up having to face an induction for some reason, it'll be the same agony ... or worse ...)

Both my labours starting with waters breaking, with ds (3.11yo)it was the start of a long painful horrible labour, with really bad contractions, right from the begining.
With dd (4mo) waters broke, went to hospital, told i was 5cm, didn,t belive them, had no real pain until i was fully dilated (35minutes later) and wanted to push.
I know this does't really answer your question, just wanted to point out that waters breaking doesn't always mean a painful labour, so if it happened again, it might be fine.
good luck
