Braxton hicks contractions are a tightening of your uterus. They are 'practice' contractions. You might be getting them and not even feel them. There is nothing wrong with not feeling them. There is nothing wrong with not having them.

Have a happy, safe delivery!

I make 35 weeks tomorrow and don't feel anything similar to .Braxton .Hicks......

I've read that you're more than likely just not feeling them...Which i'm totally ok with!! Lol

I think your first pregnancy you don't feel them, but the next time you know what they are. Kind of like when the you first kind of thought the baby was moving...Or was it gas? Second time through, you know. ;)

This is my first pregnancy so I don't know what to expect. I thought by now being at 39 weeks I would definitely feel some bh, but im not.. Which kinda worries me.

Oh wow, 39 weeks!! How do you feel?? Do you know if your dilated at all??

Braxton hicks s%cks for me. I'm just 36 5 wks and its really painful its like the real thing :( mw came over and saw me last tuesday and said i'm prob one of the unfortunate ones that get painful bh or its a pre-empt to labor. Consider yourself lucky girl :)

I think I got bh yesterday. Not really sure. It just felt like pressure. I was pretty uncomfortable but it didn't hurt or anything. Just like everything tummy got tight.

Babymajic0506, I havent dilated at all. :(

Do you know that we have bh during our entire pregnancy? The tech told me that when they were taking my us. She told me a lot of stuff like why they measure this and that and why to look at this and that. While she was looking around in there she pointed out a dip in the uterus and told me that it was a braxton hicks contraction. I asked her why I was having one so early in my pregnancy. She told me that even though I can't feel them pregnant wemon have them all during the pregnancy. It's not until we get bigger we feel them.
