Anyone else not experienced braxton hicks yet?
It’s worrying me a little as I read so often about other women experiencing them, usually from even earlier on. This is my second pregnancy, I had a c-section at 38 and a half weeks with my first and didn’t experience braxton hicks in that pregnancy either (or labour). I know braxton hicks are your bodies way of practicing contractions and I really want to try for a VBAC - does the fact I haven’t experienced them yet mean my body will have a harder time with labour? Can it be normal to not get them at all and have a successful vaginal birth? Thank you x

Yeah, I'm 33 weeks and I've not had any Braxton Hicks yet! X
I never had them with my first or this time around. Or, at least I never noticed them. It's normal.
I’m 34 weeks and haven’t experienced any Braxton Hicks yet either :)
In my first pregnancy never had any at all
I didn’t have any first pregnancy and nothing so far this time. I’m glad they don’t sound great 😂
Me. I didn’t have any in first pregnancy either
Had them and you're not missing out love :)
I had braxton hicks with all 3 of my pregnancies. If you haven't got them yet, you're lucky as they're quite uncomfortable xx

I think it's also normal to not feel braxton hicks, you will just go in to normal contractions during labour, I'm sure your body will handle it just as well as anyone else :) xx
