Is this normal? Not to have had any BHs yet with less than 3 weeks to go?

I didn't have any until just as I went into labour.

Nothing to worry about.

28 weeks with DC2 and not had any this time eithger.

I didn't have any with either of my ds's.

DS1 was induced at 42 +5, but ds2 arrived on his due date of his own accord.

Don't worry about it. It can be quite normal for some people.

Absolutely no braxton hicks here either. Nothing. Not a murmur or ripple.

But had straightforward and quick birth at 38 weeks.

I think some women just don't. Perfectly normal.

Never had a bh. Or if I did, I didn't know about it.

Nope, none for me last time - was a bit of a suprise for me when I went into labour because it was the first time I had felt any sort of contractions!

None so far this time either at 30 weeks, so looking like I just don't 'do' BH!

RaceyLacey · 16/04/2010 21:42

None here for either of mine. So when at 40+1 I started having these twinges I put them down to BH. I wsa young & naive & ds1 was born a few hours later .

Ok, thanks all, that's reassuring. BUT, it's my third child and I'm sure I had them in the last two pregnancies! (3.5 and 5.5 years ago)So that's why I'm wondering if something's wrong this time, although I know every pregnancy is different.

I did not have them first time, but this time had them pretty much from the second trimester onwards. So guess every pregnancy really is different.

I had none with DD1 at all, my waters broke at 37+5 weeks and she was here 4 hours later! Not a twinge before that.

The next 3 are a different story

diddl · 17/04/2010 17:39

Didn´t have them with either of mine either.

Also had 2 easy labours & births with no stitches/tears.

I didn't either, and went into labour spontaneously a day before my due date.
