Anyone else not have any Braxton Hicks?

I am 40 weeks tomorrow with my 2nd dc and don't think I've ever had a BH contraction. My bump sometimes feels hard to touch from the outside but it doesn't feel any different from the inside IYSWIM. Just wondering if I'm odd?!

Didn't with my first but loads with the second!!

Didn't know what had hit me!!

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 20/02/2009 21:07

Me! None with either of my pregnancies!

DS1 was induced 2 1/2 weeks late and ds2 arrived on his due date but I had no signs at all!!

FruitynNutty · 20/02/2009 21:09

Me. Didn't with DS and haven't had any with this one (36 weeks now)
My friend didn't know she was having them though, the midwife noticed when she was checking her and told her she was having them!

Not a one. My first contraction was when I started labour - woke up in the night, doubled up and howling like a wolf.

Oh good! Glad I'm not the only one

nope didn't experience braxton hicks at all. or If I did then I didn't notice them!

Spaceman · 20/02/2009 22:45

I didn't either - with both of mine. I only had stabbing pains down below, which I thought were feet kicking me (as baby was supposedly breech). But it couldn't be as his head was actually engaged.

pamplemousse · 20/02/2009 22:55

Nope none here either

Amapoleon · 20/02/2009 23:00

No I haven't, either time.

mummyegg · 20/02/2009 23:01

Me neither with either

NellyTheElephant · 21/02/2009 18:29

No, never felt any with DD1 or DD2 (thought I was getting them with DD1 but turned out I was in labour the next day so I guess it was just the start of labour). Now 32 wks with DC3 and haven't had any yet. As I understand it, just because you don't feel them doesn't mean they are not happening.

cluckyagain · 21/02/2009 18:32

I had loads but I was unusual in my antenatal group - no panic!

Princeonthemove · 21/02/2009 18:42

Never. Thought I was the only one!

AnathemaDevice · 21/02/2009 20:32

I don't think I've had any, but as this is my first baby I've got no idea what they should feel like! What should they feel like?
