No contractions?

Question

I'm currently 37+1 and I haven't had one contraction. I'm a FTM so I really don't know exactly what they feel like but I don't think I have? Is this normal? My doc asks me the last few apts about contractions and I'm like "I don't know!" 😩
Baby has already dropped at my apt on Monday and my cervix has started to thin but that's about all.

Answer

I'm 37w 4d and have not had any contractions that I'm aware of just some mild cramping here and there. At my appointment early this week I was only a fingertip dilated and 50% effaced so still a ways to go for me too!

Answer

Omg y'all are so lucky!!!! I'm FTM 34 weeks and I've been having Braxton hicks and horrible cramps for a few weeks. Contractions feel horrible and your stomach will tighten and let up. Basically like a tummy cramp. If you feel them 5 minutes apart it's time to get butt to L&D lol. They start out not that bad and then get worse.

Answer

I'm 34 weeks and was having lots of Braxton Hicks from 26-30 weeks but now they seem to have gone away. I mean, when I walk, my belly gets tight. Does that count?

Answer

I'm a FTM as well and currently 36 weeks and 6 days and I haven't had any contractions either. Baby boy is head down but he hasn't dropped yet. All I'm having is a pulling sensation in my upper inner thigh area

Answer

They are like strong bowl movement cramps or like you are on your period just not bloody. If you bleed it's bloody show.

Answer

Same here but this is my second you will know they are just more painful than period cramps mine have been bare min my dr said my baby is extreamly low I'm 3cm and 100% thin and two days shy of 38 weeks I'll be induced on the 28th if she doesn't come before then
