Every pregnant woman has Braxton Hicks Contractions, but not everyone can feel them. It is perfectly normal. I have been pregnant 4 times. My first 2 pregnancies I never felt them, but felt a lot for my 3rd, not as many for my 4th.

No. You may be having them and not notice but at 35 weeks you should not be expecting Braxton Hicks. Some women have none throughout the pregnancy, that doesn't mean a darn thing when it comes to labour or baby's healthy or yours for that matter.
They are prepatory only, practice, and for shifting/moving baby into the canal and getting him/her ready...they are not necessity.

not really , not everyone have them, I didn't . My daughter was born exactly a day after due date and the contractions first just felt like I was having a bad stomach, but about a hour ater they were quite bad, worse than normal period pain and trust me all that I could see I the epidural
All the best with pregnancy, and congratulations for the new baby

Not necessarily. I don't think all women have braxton-hicks contractions.However, since you're 35 weeks and the normal gestation is 40 weeks they may be well on their way.

I didn't have any contractions until my water broke at 35 weeks! Then they came rolling in. Enjoy this next little bit!

I think I only had 3 or 4 BH contractions my entire pregnancy. Don't worry, not everyone has them.

naawww - not everybody has them. I've been pregnant four times & never had the first one! Good luck & relax!! worst comes to worst, ask your ob/gyn - they can give you the informed medical opinion on BH Contractions.

It is normal. You also may be having them and not know it. Sometimes they are too small to detect without a monitor. Also you may be having them and not recognizing them. It is perfectly normal. Don't worry !
