Anyone NOT having Braxton Hicks?

I don't think I have felt a single Braxton Hicks yet!  I know not all women experience them, so maybe that is why?  As far as I know I haven't had any contractions yet.  I know this doesn't mean I won't go into labor soon (only 37w4d) but I am curious to see what they feel like! Am I alone here?
Baby #1 Due 2/21/13!

Re: Anyone NOT having Braxton Hicks?

  • I haven't had any either.
    Married: August 2008
    DS born: February 2013
    TTC #2: Nov. 14
    Chemical pregnancy 09/16/15
    BFP: 12/25/15 EDD: 09/04/16
  • I don't think I have been feeling them either. I'm at 39 weeks and 2 days... I have felt tight pressure in my stomach and some possible period-like cramps but then some days it ends up being gas! I feel totally clueless... In earlier months I thought I was feeling Braxton Hicks and then I learned that it was just the baby sitting on my bladder! Ooops!

  • I have had mild period like cramps a couple times but no bh either
  • With my first I didn't think I was really getting any until I saw on monitors I was. I just never felt them so that could be the case for you to.

    I could have written the same post! I'm due on Friday. What I thought was BH turned out to be gas/constipation.

  • You aren't the only one... I haven't been feeling any BH either. I have had a few cramps and a little tightness.

  • I am 39 weeks and can't clearly recognize any!  I have been told that I may be in labor before I have any symptoms.
  • I didn't have a single BH contraction with my first and I ended up having him at 37 weeks.  With the other babies I had a bunch of BH and prodromal labor and ended up going to my due date or beyond.

    I wouldn't worry if you're not having them.  You could still have the baby today without them :)

        
  • I didn't have them last time nor am I having them this time.

  • SO glad I am not the only one! My OB did a NST today just to see if I was having any.... after a good 20 minutes without seeing one she said I probably am not having any, but could start at any day or just go into labor! I guess it's just one of those things...

  • I have had them with #2 for a while now but I never had one contraction with #1 until I was in labor (@40w exactly).
