35 & 4 days and haven’t experienced Braxton Hicks or anything.... does this mean I’ll probably be late?

Question

I feel like a lot of women have experienced some sign of body preparing for labor and I haven’t at all.... does that mean I’ll probably be late?

Answer

First time Mom here so I have no idea but I'll be 35 weeks tomorrow and I haven't had any yet unless I just don't know what they are lol. Starting to get a lot of sharp stabbing pains up my hooha though lol

Answer

I never had them as a first time mom. Had my son two days before due date, great labor and birth experience! So don’t worry, not everyone does and they’re much more common for 2nd time moms or more.

Answer

I hope not! Baha I’m 36+ 3 FTM and don’t think I’ve had any either. No dilation and no contractions at all on the fetal monitor either... I want the baby to be healthy and bake as long as he needs to but I don’t want to go longer than my due date!

Answer

I didn’t realize I was having Braxton Hicks until the doctor felt one at my 39 week appointment!  I just assumed it was baby moving and wasn’t painful just uncomfortable!  She was surprised I was dilated as far as I was and hadn’t felt anything yet. Clearly I was having them though haha

Answer

I didn’t have a single sign of labor until the day before it happened. No braxton-Hicks, no mucous plug, no bloody show. Signs of labor at 35 weeks would be concerning to me. The first contraction I felt was real labor at 38+2, baby was born 38+3. Everyone says Braxton-Hicks are more common in future pregnancies, but I haven’t had any this time either. Hoping for a similar (but shorter) labor this time.

Answer

No I don’t think so. My first I had them starting at like 24 weeks and they increased toward the end and he was 10 days late so I don’t think there’s a correlation ave had plenty of friends who never experienced them and delivered early or on time.
