Q: Does everyone experience Braxton Hicks?

I'm almost 35wks now and to be honest haven't felt or noticed any tightening of my uterus due to what they call braxton hicks.

TMI*** Sorry ladies!!

I have had tightening of my uterus whilst "doing the deed" with my boyfriend after the big O, so I know what the tightening feels like as I questioned my midwife on this and she said your uterus will go hard like that during a braxton.

But does everyone get them or is it just pick of the hat?

I didn't feel any at all. Even during labour I didn't feel any contractions in my stomach, but felt it all in my back.

this is my first and i got them at 18 weeks. my friend is 36 weeks and just started getting them. my midwife said we do all get them but some have them stronger than others. mine feel like im getting poked from the inside and then my lower abdomen/uterus gets solid like u can knock on it lol.

Everyone does yes. But not everyone feels them. I didnt feel them with my last pregnancy but I feel them this time.
