3rd trimester girls- Anyone NOT having Braxton Hicks
Everyone keeps asking me if i am having Braxton Hicks and honestly either I dont know what they feel like or I am really not having them.
Does this mean my body isnt practicing for labor the way it should be?

Re: 3rd trimester girls- Anyone NOT having Braxton Hicks
I asked my OB about this cause I thought I wasn't having them either. I never get that tightening feeling in my stomach. She said most likely I am having them, I'm just not noticing/feeling them.
With 11 days to go till my due date, I hope something is happening in there! lol

Re: 3rd trimester girls- Anyone NOT having Braxton Hicks
I am 37 weeks and I haven't felt any Braxton Hicks contractions. I have no idea if it has anything to do with our bodies being ready for labor.

Re: 3rd trimester girls- Anyone NOT having Braxton Hicks
I just had my baby last week and I never felt them either-u will be fine--I was just a little crampy from time to time--Even when I was in labor I was having contractions that I just didn't feel :)

Re: 3rd trimester girls- Anyone NOT having Braxton Hicks
I will be in my third tri tomorrow, and have had them just two or three times in the last couple of weeks. Just a tightening feeling in my lower belly, in the pelvic area.

Re: 3rd trimester girls- Anyone NOT having Braxton Hicks
I never had any braxton hicks contractions. I had real contractions at the end that I wasn't feeling but I wasn't progressing with them.

Re: 3rd trimester girls- Anyone NOT having Braxton Hicks
I am not. Or at least I don't know I am. I feel great. Some days I am uncomfortable, like the baby needs more room and I feel tight with less range of motion. But then it goes away. Other than that. no bh

Re: 3rd trimester girls- Anyone NOT having Braxton Hicks
I never noticed them before but I'm pretty sure I had an episode yesterday- my tummy felt tight as a rock!

This is what's happening with me... I just get menstrual-like cramps from time to time. No obvious BH.

Re: 3rd trimester girls- Anyone NOT having Braxton Hicks
My belly tightens ALL THE TIME ... and started in the 2nd tri but how it feels to me, I would never think they are BH or anything I thought contractions would feel like so I don't know.

Re: 3rd trimester girls- Anyone NOT having Braxton Hicks
With my first I never had them until the 40th week and only a couple of times. Now with my second they started in the 8th month and are so strong this week I am wondering how soon the real thing is coming.
Every pregnancy is different

Re: 3rd trimester girls- Anyone NOT having Braxton Hicks
I only had a few BH contractions and they stopped altogether by 30ish weeks.
I am probably not your best example though as I had a scheduled c/s at 40 weeks because I wasnt progressing and DS was nearly 10lbs!

Re: 3rd trimester girls- Anyone NOT having Braxton Hicks
I never had BH with my first pregnancy, went into labor a few days early on my own and had DS naturally without a hitch - you will be fine! I don't think it means anything! In fact, I never realized not having them was an issue!

I had cramps a lot at the end and I thought they were contractions-I even went to get checked out at one point-but after having real contractions, they do not compare :)

Re: 3rd trimester girls- Anyone NOT having Braxton Hicks
I can only remember 2 or 3 BH contractions, and I'm not sure if they were actually even them (only a part of my stomach gets hard when I think I am having them, and I'm always confused if they are BH or if its just that  has moved to that part of my belly)
