Anyone not have Braxton Hicks?

Hello,
I’m 38 + 5 and still haven’t had any Braxton Hicks contractions. From what I’ve heard/read most women have experienced this but wondered how common it is to not have experienced any at all. Both baby and myself are very healthy and happy thankfully but I forgot to ask about this at my appointment so hoped you lovely lot would share your experience xx

I didn’t. I got some mild cramping the day before my waters went. But didn’t really get any contractions or tightens until I woke up in fully fledged labour. At that point I was 40 seconds every 4 mins.

I’m 39 + 1 and as far as I know I haven’t had any !

Didn't have any with either of my pgs.

Drogosnextwife · 17/05/2019 13:41

No never had them with either of mine.

VeganSteve · 17/05/2019 13:43

Nope, 2 babies and not one contraction... braxton hicks or otherwise!

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 17/05/2019 13:44

No, none at all in two pregnancies.

Didn't experience it in either pregnancy.

I didn't. Nothing till I woke up at 1am on my due date, howling like a wolf, having the real thing!

FlowTeeBowTee · 17/05/2019 13:49

I didn’t have any in either of my 2 pregnancies.

Nope, although I'm probably not the best example it took me several hours to realise I was in labour (at 39 weeks), I thought I had eaten something bad!

Nolagerformethanks · 17/05/2019 14:03

Nope, none here but I did give birth at 36 weeks!

Cupcake31 · 17/05/2019 15:00

I didn't get any :)

chaplin1409 · 17/05/2019 15:01

I have had 4 children and never had Braxton hicks

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 17/05/2019 15:01

I didnt- just mild cramping in the days running up to labour

RMarieClaire · 17/05/2019 17:52

Really needed to read this. 33 weeks and I have been having really uncomfortable movement and was worried I was mistaking Braxton hicks for baby kicks. I've had maybe 3 occasions where I've noticed my stomach is super tight feeling, but not felt anything when they've happened.
