Any one else not have any contractions like not even Braxton Hicks? I had one about 2 weeks ago haven't had any since.

    38weeks today. I've had a few here and there, but not too many. When I do have them they're tight and a bit painful. They just don't want to last though and form a pattern!

    With my last pregnancy I never had any Braxton hicks or contractions until 39 weeks 5 days after my water broke .... I'm 39 weeks and 4 days and still no contractions, Braxton hicks or any other signs of labor.

    Yes been having them over the weekend, they have been like once an hour and then last night that was 10 minutes apart for 1 & 1/2 hours then eased away, went to doctor today and I am 90% thinned and he said a loose 1cm dilated. What does a loose 1 even mean so I guess I am between a 1&2. I am supposed to call in the morning to be induced I will be 39 weeks tomorrow, but doctor thinks I will go into labor tonight I hope so. My contractions keep having to make me poop. Lol

    I'm 37weeks 4days and not one iota of a contraction or any Braxton Hicks and baby still hasn't dropped so doesn't look like she's coming anytime soon. My mother said she didn't have a single braxton hicks either before she went into labour so I wouldn't worry, I guess some just don't get them or don't feel them.

    I'm 39 weeks with no real BH contractions and I think baby is still high. I'm also a FTM so that may have something to do with it.

    My mom said that she didn't really have false labor she just started labor, so I'm thinking that could be a possibility for me.

    I'm 39+5 and haven't had any BH or contractions which I can feel. I've been having weekly NSTs and they've monitored a few contractions that I did not feel at all. I'm also a FTM. Discussed all of this with my doc and they've said it's totally normal. Haven't had any cervical checks yet, but will get one at this week's appt (40+1) and maybe a sweep if the doc thinks I'm at a point where it will work.

    I didn't have any that I could really feel until almost 36w, and I delivered at 37w5d.

    I'm 38+1 and haven't had any BH contractions for over a month yet I'm 2 cm dilated and 80% effaced. Doctors aren't worried and keep reinforcing that he's perfectly healthy and that they're not worried about my labor at all. I don't think the lack of contractions is anything to worry about. Not every woman will get them, and as long as you're progessing and baby is health, there's no cause for concern :)
