Anyone else not having BH?

Jubbs29 · January 2011

I know everyone's different, but I'm seeing all these posts around the boards about BH contractions. I guess I could have had some and not known, but I think it's something that would be fairly obvious. I will be 32 weeks tomorrow and I'm just wondering what's up? When did they start for you? Or are you still wondering and waiting like I am? I'm not concerned, nor do I think anything's wrong, just getting more curious as the days progress...

I've had a few things that I thought might be BH contractions, but I'm not really sure. It's only happened a few times so it might be something different.

I've felt a few different feelings going on, but I don't know if any of them are BH. Nothing has been overly painful. So I am wondering just as much as you are.

I've only had one, literally, that I could identify. And I know it was because I overdid it and didn't drink enough water. I rehydrated and stayed off my feet for the rest of the night, and it didn't happen again.

As far as I know, none for me, yet! I'm hoping I've been having them, and I just don't feel them. Anything to make me think the real thing won't be as bad Big Smile

I haven't had any BH contractions either.

I'm really not sure if I've felt any or not. A few times I've thought maybe the baby was pressing against my uterus and holding the pressure for a minute...but then I thought maybe that was a BH? I have no clue.

Chances are you're having them and not noticing- it's not uncommon for first time moms to completely miss them. I didn't know I was having them until I had a NST with DD and the nurse was saying "did you feel that?"- I thought maybe it was just baby pushing around. Second time around you WILL notice them as they're much more uncomfortable then they were the first time around. Lots of my friends have said that they only experienced BH in their second pregnancy when the reality is they just didn't register the first time around.

I had my first "real" one (that I could identify) this weekend. I woke up in the middle of the night thinking I had to pee (again!), and felt a lot of pressure around my stomach. I reached down and sure enough...hard as a rock. It went away after about 30-45 seconds. I think I'm probably having others I don't notice...you might be too.

Ok, so I'm not the only one. From what those weekly updates say, they "normally" start at 31 weeks so I'm sure it'll happen sometime soon. I guess I'm just feeling like there hasn't been any milestones in quite a while, so I'm just waiting around for something new to get excited about. Is it weird that contractions would make me excited? Big Smile

No BH here. I guess it would be obvious to me if I were having it...? Not sure.

My Dr asked at my last appointment, and I said I don't *think* i've had any?? She said it's totally normal to not have them yet at all, or like a PP said, maybe just nothing noticeable yet.

I'm glad you asked this because I've been wondering the same thing. As weird as this sounds, I don't even know what a contraction (real or BH) feels like and I already have a DD. I never had any with her (that I was aware of) and ended up having a c-section 5 days before her EDD without a trial of labor (long story). So I would actually like to know what one feels like this time around.

Jubbs29 · January 2011

I guess it could be that I just haven't noticed. I'm just assuming it's something that you wouldn't be able to overlook?

ncbelle · January 2011

Everyone has them to some degree but not everyone notices them. I never noticed a single one last time and none so far this time either.

sopranogirl89 · January 2011

I haven't felt any yet. My husband keeps telling me i can look forward to them since his first childs mother was feeling them at 25 weeks... I am 30 weeks.. although my OB told me that it is normal not to feel them

Babydust08 · January 2011

I haven't that I know of. Sometimes I notice my stomach get hard, but not a contracting sensation.

PAmiler82 · January 2011

I didn't feel a single one with Drew and haven't so far with this pregnancy either. I'm quite okay with that. :-)

Jubbs29 · January 2011

I guess I'm weird for wanting to feel them. Maybe this means I won't feel the true labor contractions? Wink

Ok ok...that's just wishful thinking.

LadyXaverian · January 2011

If I'm having them, I'm oblivious to them. Sooo, I'm guessing I'm not having them.

Jubbs29 · January 2011

I think that seems to be the standard response. It'll be interesting to see how the responses are in a month or so.
