    Lack of Braxton hicks 35.3 weeks pregnant

    Im not getting that many braxton hicks as i was with my DS - i get them if i have to go shopping or something but not really that many at home.

    does everyone get them..

    I'm hardly getting any only the occasional one, I am getting cramps on and off and have a sore back but not any B/hick.

    I only got them in the last two weeks with my first and barley any at all with my second, not sure why tho!

    Hope this helps and makes you feel better!

    I was talking to girls at my class the other week hun and 2 of them who were due before me and just after had no idea what they were! I explained what I felt when I get them and they didn't think they had gotten them! Well they say you get them but some people just don't feel them at all. Not long to go now!

    I've heard not everyone gets them....kinda of like morning sickness. Apparently over 85% of people get morning sickness and I wasn't one of them. Kind of hope its the same for BH

    Yep not long to go thank god...

    i guess im cluthcing at any sign shes coming earlier than her due date.. And with my DS i had him 10 days early but i think i had BH quite intense ones for a fe weeks before he arrived.. and coz im not getting them the same im thinking "Whats going on" i am feeling nauseous and runny number 2's but i know that happens usually anyway.. but im so anxious just want this to be over - im also trying to have a VBAC which i am getting pretty scared about... dont want the same experience as last time, posterior baby 33 hour labour 3 hours of pushing and an Emergency CS anyway... stressing badly.

    It seems that every pregnancy is different. I have had absolutely no BH at all!!! Was starting to get worried myself, but have been told that it is normal. I have been feeling lots of pressure and slight cramping very low down, but don't think it is BH. Hugs to you and hope your labour and birth are easier on you this time x

    Oh hun - try not to stress. Read lots of vbac stories that you can find online and on here - surround yourself with positive affirmations. Your(our!) body is made to do this - I went through around 36 hours of labour from first gel to c/s too but I know that every birth is different and every experience is different and I am focused on making this one different. Do you have a doula for your birth? If you need anything - even just to vent or chat please let me know.
