No Braxton Hicks

Hi! I'm 35 weeks and haven't had any Braxton kicks at all. Just wondering if anyone else is the same? I've had a little bit of period style aches the past week or so but no 'tightenings' as they describe it.

Im 36 weeks and haven’t either. I have read not everyone gets them. I have ligament pain every now and then which I didn’t get much in second trimester. I guess there is still time for Braxton hicks to start though

That's good to know! I just wondered how common it was to not have any and if it's a sign that things won't be happening early (definitely wouldn't mind if it came anytime from 37 week haha)

Let’s hope it isn’t a sign they are too comfy! Ready to get my body back after this final week!

I'm 32 weeks tomorrow and haven't had any BH yet! Have had other friends that have had babies recently and they also never got BH so I guess for some women it's just normal!
