I had no braxton hicks contractions at all my whole pregnancy. I have been told they are more noticeable your second pregnancy and that many women do not experience them during their first pregnancy.
Best of luck!

If this is your first child, you probably just didn't notice them. They aren't painful. It was hard for me to tell the difference between a braxton hicks contraction and when my son would move, because my lower stomach would get really hard with both. Just keep in mind, with the real ones, you will feel a cramp in your lower stomach along with the tightening feeling!!! Lots of luck!

Well, I can only tell you this, I gave birth to 4 beautiful babies and never had a Braxton Hicks contraction in my life! I have no idea what they would feel like, only what I have been told!
I don't think it is anything to worry about in any case. It sure didn't seem to hurt me. I don't think that all women have them.
Take care of yourself and good luck with everything.

That is completely normal.. some women do not even know they are having braxton hicks contraction. When it is time you will know. Good luck on a healthy labor!!

It is normal especially if it is your first baby, sometimes they feel like small cramps. a lot of walking could help with delivering as well as preparing your body for labor. With my first I didn't get them until the last week and not until i walked a lot.
Also Just to let you know if interested in you want to try and induce naturally I as well as a few friends have inserted Primrose Oil caps into vagina, you can also take 3 a night orally. It acts just as sperm does and helps dialted the cervix.
I did it for 3 days every night and was 2 cm @ 39 weeks. My friend did it on Oct 30 @ 8pm and had a baby Oct 31 @ 5pm but she had already started labor slowly.
Good Luck!

My braxton hicks didn't really happen at all, maybe a little flutter but right at the last minute.
Go and have a chat with your midwife who is there to look after you and put your worries to rest.
Take care now and good luck

My bet is that you'll be able to be in lively hard work inside forty eight hours. Try to stroll plenty to inspire the little one to transport down within the delivery canal. I proposal I was once having Braxton Hicks however it was once particularly hard work so in the event that they get extra excessive or are coming at consistent periods (time them and lasting for two mins) then I'd get to the Dr or Hospital.
