When Do Braxton Hicks Contractions Typically Start?

OMG I have been getting them for the last month and I'm 32.5 weeks. If I do too much physically I have them like every 10 minutes for like 24 hours. That was my day on Tuesday. They don't hurt but they are very uncomfortable after a couple hours for me. I had one in the middle of my appt in Tuesday and that was the start of them for 24 hours. I am also older (almost 37) and my youngest is only 1.5 so I didn't really get my body into shape before I got pregnant again. I think this girl is going to come fast once labor starts. First was 11 hours, second was 5 hours!! I just told my midwife as soon as I think I'm in labor I am heading over cause we live about 35-50 mins from the hospital depending on traffic.

With my first I NEVER had any. She was born at 40w4d. With this one I've only experienced them 3 or 4 times and I'm 34w. Everyone is different and it's fine if you don't get them.

33wk 3days and no BH. ? FTM too

Thanks ladies for all the replies! I've been reading that a lot of you have been experiencing them and was wondering if me not having them was normal. Clearly it is?

I never had them with first baby! But I've been getting them since 28 weeks with this baby, #2.

I did not have them at all with my 1st but having them this time. It's gradually happened over last three weeks. I'm 35 weeks now.

Some people never get them, totally normal ?

35w and no BH yet

35weeks and still haven't had any.

32+5 and none for me yet!

I'm 32+5 and haven't had any either. I'm not even complaining about it lol

I didn't have any with my last pregnancy and I haven't had any with this one yet either (unless I just don't feel them??) I think it's normal either way.

I didn't get them at all with my first and so far I'm 34 weeks and haven't got them with my 2nd. Everyone is different.

PPs are right about you possibly having them already and not knowing it.

If you asked me I'd tell you the same thing, that I don't have them and don't feel anything. But I go in for NSTs twice weekly and they pick them up on the monitor every time. If it wasn't for that I would have no idea what was happening.

I only got one single BH with my first baby. Some people don't get them at all, especially in a first pregnancy. Now with this baby, my 2nd, I've been getting them for a while and get them all the time (I'm currently 32 weeks).

With my first I never got them. With this one I occasionally get them but it's rare

You might not get them at all. Out of the 5 kids I have already I only had BH with my last one.

I'm 35 weeks and I haven't had any either!

You may just not be feeling them. I wouldn't worry that it has any indication of a problem

I'm 32 weeks and haven't gotten any either nor have I had any cravings

I've been getting them since 30 weeks. Everyone is different though and you may be getting them and just don't feel them. Most of the time they start in the second trimester and you don't feel them. With my other two kids I never felt them. With this one though it's been completely different.
