36 weeks and no braxton hicks?

Jordyn

I'll be 36 weeks tomorrow and I have yet to experience any braxton hicks contractions.

I am constantly crampy and have increased back pain, but L&D sent me home and said I have an "irritable uterus". And would continue to have cramps and possibly a lower back ache.

Could the cramping be a BH contraction? I never really feel a tightening sensation, so I'm wondering if anyone has insight for this FTM on what I should be looking for in a BH..
