Seeing various threads on here about BH at 16, 22 weeks etc I've realised I'm now 30+3 and haven't had any!! Is that strange?

I never had any at all with DS1.

None with either of mine

I didn't have any with my first pregnancy either, only 15 weeks now and nothing so far!

Ok stupid question but what is Braxton Hicks? everyone keeps mentioning it but no one has explained what it is or what it feels like this is my first and I am 36wks, please forgive my ignorance.

I didn't get any until I was practically full term with my first. Think it varies hugely.

I've had two children and have never experienced a Braxton Hicks.
