Absence of any braxton hicks

[Fleur]

I got none at all with my first bubs, the only hint of anything at all was some period-like pain the night before I went into labour (which I am getting on & off much earlier now )
Had plenty of BH with the following bubs though!

I didn't get any with my first bub either and with this bub I have had them really bad. I got one in woolies today and I couldn't move even though I was in people's way and had all the women at the service desk staring at me, I think they thought I was going to have my bub there in front of them .

I had no BH at all ever in any degree lol
I felt very left out!!

I went to 41+1 and was in labour for 36 hours...but never any BH

I didn`t get any with my first but this baby (#3) is making up for it, have been getting BH`s since 15 weeks and the last 2 weeks they have been quite painfull at times.

lolly - I had nothing with DS. The first sign I had that I was having a baby was on the day he was born - when I went in to labour. It would have to be pretty common with the first baby.

I'm having BH this time around though. Very different pgs.

I have had 2kids and didn't have any with either. It doesn't mean anything as when I had a VE I was 3cm (not in labour with no1) and with no2 I was 4cm with no pain what so ever. I think ryatha is right. Your probably getting them but not feeling them. Often women are hooked up to the CTG (for monitoring bubs heart rate) and it picks up BH and tightenings when the woman isn't feeling them.

i never felt any with my first 2.

Ive had a few this time round which normally happens when ive overdone doing something
