Does everyone get Braxton hicks?

Question

I'm 33 wks and don't think I've experienced Braxton hicks. Does everyone get them at some point?

Answer

This is my first pregnancy, so every feeling/experience is brand new. However, I do think I have been experiencing some Braxton Hicks contractions. They don't hurt. I just feel a tightening in my belly, and it feels hard to the touch. They don't typically last long and will go away when I change positions.

Answer

I've never felt them with my previous 2 pregnancies and haven't had any this time either. My sister gets them though and she's about 34 weeks.

Answer

I never had them with my first pregnancy and I feel like I have constantly lived with them during my second.

Answer

Every pregnancy is different. I got tons and my sister never had any.

Answer

I'm 35 weeks and can say that I haven't knowingly experienced them. I hear sometimes women don't even realize they are having them.
