No braxton hicks Still at 36 weeks

I'm 36 weeks,I've had a good pregnancy.. No aches/pains, and no sickness! There's lots of people who are getting braxton hicks who I'm further ahead of in a pregnancy and I haven't experienced them yet.
Since I'm not getting braxton hicks and no pains will this mean I will go overdue? thanks.

    I never had Braxton Hicks during my pregnancies, and had my son at 38 weeks (although that has no bearing on your pregnancy). Not every woman experiences them.

  • Nope, it doesn't mean anything. Also, it is quite possible that you are having them, but you don't even know it--like maybe your uterus is "practicing" gently while you sleep, walk, etc.
  • I don't feel mine but they show up on my NST every week. I always thought it was him sticking his butt out until then. I only ever notice them if I let my bladder get too full.
  • I haven't noticed any, and I am at 36 weeks.  None showed up on my latest NST either.

  • I'm 35 weeks and have never noticed any BH. Not everyone gets them.

  • You just might not notice it. I didn't! Had to check into the hospital and get monitored after having elevated blood pressure. The doctor told me I was having small contractions and did I notice them. Haha no, no I did not!

    Never had any last pregnancy and my water broke at 38 weeks.
  • I didn't think I was having them bc they were t as noticable, occasionally my bump felt a little more tight or harder than normal.... come to find out = Braxton hicks. I wouldn't stress. :)
  • I never had them my first time around, don't sweat it.
  • I had plenty of them during my first pregnancy and I went into labor at 41.3...
