No BH?

coco2787coco2787 member
in July 2013 Moms
This may be a 5.99 question, but I'm 35w4d and I dont think I've had any BH contractions. It seems like everyone else is always including that in their symptom complaints but I haven't noticed any. I realize you don't necessarily feel them but the only time by belly feels super tight is if I have to pee. Anyone else experiencing this either now or in past pregnancies? Should I be worried my uterus isn't getting any practice in, or just grateful I'm not dealing with them?

    You just may not be noticing them.  The first time I realized I was having a BH contraction was when I had a random checkup with the OB sometime in 3rd tri with DD and the OB casually mentioned that I was contracting under her touch. Up until then, I don't think it was noticeable to me.  The intensity will pick up as you get closer to your due date.

    I started getting them right at 35 weeks. Up until then I didn't feel any. Consider yourself lucky.

    I'm almost 37 weeks and I'm not sure if I have had them or not either.  My OB asked if I was having any and I said no - she said I probably just wasn't noticing them.  I say just feel lucky!

    I just started getting them about 2 weeks ago.  Mine are not painful or consistent, but sometimes I just notice my uterus is rock hard.  Other times, I will randomly feel my belly and notice it is balled up and contracted on one side.

    I'm a FTM and 38 weeks.. my doctor asks me at each appointment if I am having BH. Because this is all new to me, I really am not sure if what I think are BH are just baby or actual BH. Whatever they are, baby or BH, they aren't too painful so I'll take it. My doctor hasn't seemed concerned that I have (or have not) had any BH.

    My sister said that during her pregnancy she didn't have any BH either.

    I don't think you need to be worried :)

    I'd say grateful!! They don't hurt my abdomen like I think real contractions do, but they make my back hurt because they just pull everything tight so they're not very pleasant..
