No BH?

Question

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I still have not experienced any Braxton Hicks contractions. This is my first pregnancy so I'm not even sure what to expect; I've just been told by other mommas that your whole belly tightens and you get period-like cramps sometimes. My belly gets somewhat hard when I feel him kick, but that's it. Occasionally, I get this pain in my lower abdomen that feels like I'm getting stabbed (way worse than period cramps), but I don't have tightening. I don't feel anything that I would describe as contractions. Meanwhile I'm hearing that it's weird that I haven't experienced any yet.
When did you first feel BH as a FTM? Should I bring this up to my OB or just wait it out? I've had little to no questions during my entire pregnancy and now that we are coming to the end of it, I want to make sure that I'm not missing anything.

Answer

FTM and I’ll switch you 😹😹 I get like 4-5 an hour and they are just right and uncomfortable but having them and not having them are completely normal

Answer

I didn’t get any with my first and haven’t so far with this one either.

Answer

Third pregnancy and I’ve never had them before. My doctors were never concerned. I still had my first naturally without my body “practicing” beforehand

Answer

I am also a FTM. 35 weeks and no BH yet. Not that I know of. No pains or cramps. I’ve been worried that maybe this means I’ll carry late or need a csection but I guess it’s normal not to get any. Just varies person to person.

Answer

I'm 32 weeks today, been feeling like stabbing daul as if something is tearing from my stomach. Found out today that my fluids around the baby is low and she's measure 9 days ahead. Don't know what to think but I see ,y doctor the 8th so until them I wait it out.

Answer

This is my fourth pregnancy and it’s also the first one I’ve ever experienced Braxton Hicks contractions with. In my other 3 I never had any contractions until I was in labor and having real contractions. Let me tell you, you’re not missing anything!!

Answer

FTM here and same!  I don’t think I’ve experienced any either ..

Answer

My first pregnancy I never felt them either! And this pregnancy I hardly feel them unless they are on the “stronger side” or I have my hand on my belly to feel it getting hard. It’s nothing to worry about

Answer
