When did you start getting Braxton Hicks?

Question

I haven’t had any yet & I’m kind of sad about it🤦🏽‍♀️ my doctor said it’s fine, and they will start soon or I may not have them. 
I kind of feel like my body needs the practice.
This is my first baby, so I have no idea how they feel, but I’ve read all about them and everyone’s experiences, so I keep waiting for this tightening feeling to happen. 
Just wondering when everyone started getting them? 
Thnx

Answer

I thought I wasn’t getting them and that she was just pushing her back or butt strongly outwards. But when I told my midwife about how sometimes it feels tighter when she moves, like she’s pushing outward she said, “oh that is Braxton Hicks.” 😂  so maybe movement you feel could be it?

Answer

I’m 31 + 2 and I haven’t really had any 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I have them every other pregnancy, lol. Never had them with my 1st, had them all the time with my 2nd, never had them with my 3rd and now on my 4th I am having them all the time. It's weird how you may or may not have them.

Answer

I didn’t think everyone got them. I’m 39 weeks and haven’t had any. 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Almost 34 weeks and I haven't had them either. Everyone is different im sure its fine and you'll be just as ready

Answer

I started getting them around 27ish weeks maybe randomly. I’m 34 weeks now and they are becoming quite a bit more frequently. I had atleast 1-2 every hour all day today.

Answer

I told my midwife I hadn’t been getting them, but she said that I’m definitely having them, just not feeling it. Your body is practicing, don’t worry about that! If you ever notice that your stomach tightens, it’s probably BH.

Answer

I didn’t have them or at least never noticed them with my first. I still had a very easy labour so I wouldn’t worry! 
I had them with my second and have them so often now with my third. And I’d much rather not have them!

Answer

I didn’t have them with my first pregnancy, but it seems like they get more frequent and bordering on painful with each subsequent pregnancy.  This is my fourth baby, and the Braxton Hicks take my breath away.
