False labor

So I posted this morning that I was getting contractions but ended up being false labor. I'm 40 weeks +1 my doc decided to induce me on Thursday.  Are labor pains/ contractions more painful when induced?

I have only ever been induced so im not really sure if they are worse. I had an epidural. I had him within 5 hours of being induced :)

In my opinion yes they are a lot worse than going natural. Had 1 natural and 1 induced.

Thanks.. I just wanted to know what the opinions were. I wish he would come before a Thursday bc I want him naturally but we'll see what happens.

For me personally yes the pains were worse. I was induced for my first and I went into natural labour with my second. It was so much more intense. That's not saying you will feel the same or other ladies on here have. Everyone copes differently x
