Braxton Hicks?

Question

Does everyone experience Braxton Hicks? I’m 37 weeks and haven’t experienced them. I’ve had some cramping and sharp pain in my lower abdomen area/crotch area but nothing like what people describe Braxton hicks or contractions as. Does this mean my baby isn’t even getting ready for labor or could it still happen soon?

Answer

I luckily didn't notice them with my first, but this one it feels like anytime I do anything slightly strenuous my belly will tighten. It's mostly just uncomfortable

Answer

I’m 37+1 and have yet to experience them!

Answer

Ive been having them since 28 weeks and I’m 35+5 today. Mine hurt 😩 feels like a long period cramp with tightening

Answer

I didn’t have Braxton Hicks during my last pregnancy and I don’t think I’ve had them in this one either... Baby came at 40 weeks last time. You’re 37 weeks so the baby will come one way or another within the next 5 weeks lol😜 you can do this mama!

Answer

I didn't experience braxton hicks with my first pregnancy, but I have throughout this entire second pregnancy. I've heard some women get them but don't feel them. My midwife was checking my belly one day and told me I was having contractions and despite usually feeling them, I didn't feel it at that time. It's different for everyone and every pregnancy.
