I'm 35 weeks and 2 days pregnant, and have yet to feel any Braxton-hicks contractions. I've spoken with several of my Mommy-friends (I'm the last of my clique to have a baby), and they all claim to have felt it by now. I've always been the odd-ball and the late bloomer. Is that the case now?

I've had 3 children and had braxton hicks once. So cheer up braxton hicks feel like the real thing don't be in a rush.Some people have them some don't. Concentrate on something else you are getting ready to bring life into this world something really incredible and pray he or she is healthy and that you will be the best mother ever. Hope this was helpful. CONGRATULATIONS

Not every body has Braxton Hicks I have been pregnant 5 times and the closer's I got to braxton hicks was pre labour pains for false labour pain but went into real labour with in a day or so after these.

No. I didnt' have a single braxton hicks with either of my pregnancies. The only contractions I had was when I was induced for my "trial of labor". Even then I didnt' dialate and my water didnt' break. In fact, my water only broke when they moved me to take me into surgey for a c-sect. I didn't have braxton hicks with my second preg either. Dont' feel left out . Everyone is different. Every pregnancy is different and who knows if you get preg again you may have braxton hicks.

I've had four children. I only experienced Braxton-Hicks with my youngest child.
Not every women experiences B-H, and not every woman who does feels them. You could be in either of those groups.
Don't worry... you'll be feeling the real thing soon enough!

I didn't have any Braxton Hicks contractions with my first pregnancy. I don't think you HAVE to have them.

I didn't have them with my first baby at all. With my second I have been having them since like 30 weeks. You are fine

For some women they are just not as obvious. If your stomach tightens up, that's what they are.
