Lack of Braxton Hicks at 39+2 = overdue baby?

I haven't been getting any BHs as far as I can tell. Should I worry? Am coming up to due date and friends who are weeks behind me have been getting BHs for a while. Do you think this means I'll go overdue?

My dd was born at 40+2 and I didn't have one Braxton hicks before I went into labour. I wouldn't worry, just enjoy!!

That's reassuring, thanks. Have visions of going 2 weeks over and being induced. Will make another cup of raspberry leaf tea!
