36+5 no more Braxton Hicks?

for the last few months I've had very painful episodes of cramping and Braxton hicks to the point of false labor and I experienced prodromal labor nightly. Suddenly about a few weeks or so ago the contractions vanished all together. Now I don't feel as heavy, baby is finally head down instead of transverse, it's weird. I'm a STM and I don't remember getting a break from the pelvic pressure or BH with my first. Has anyone else's contractions suddenly vanished?

    No, but each pregnancy is different , even with the same woman. If baby is still moving well I wouldn't be too concerned about vanishing contractions. You're being seen weekly now, right @butterfly061583 ?

    No not weekly yet every two weeks until weeks 39&40. I'm not concerned about anything being wrong movements are great. I'm just curious as to the vanishing contractions and if anyone else is experiencing this, because I thought they would get worse instead of stopping all together.

    Maybe the positioning of the baby had something to do with it. Mine was transverse for a while and that made me have more BH than when he moved into head down. I don't really have them now either, just constant menstrual cramping. But I will take the stop of BH with open arms girl! My mom never had BH with any of her pregnancies, so really they aren't necessary. Actually they can indicate dehydration.

    I wondered if the change in position was linked. It makes sense. I'll just enjoy the break :-).

    I had BH for several weeks in my 20s and then a couple of weeks ago, they stopped (I'm 34 weeks). I'm not complaining. :)
