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