No Braxton Hicks?

How early to Braxton Hicks tend to start? And if I'm not having any at all.. is it at all an indication that I won't go into labor on my own? What exactly to they feel like? Maybe I just dont know it's happening? I heard someone say that sometimes it just feels like cramps.. no tightening or anything.. is that true? I'm going to speak with my Dr. about this at my next appointment.. I've just been thinking about this for a few days now and thought I'd ask you guys.. thanks for your time :D

    Sometimes you don't get the Braxton Hicks contractions. I did with my first pregnancy, but not the second. My uterus never responded to labor with either baby, so I can't help you on that point. At least you know I had the BH contractions during my first pregnancy and the DIDN'T help.

    Information about BH contractions below. Most women get them late in the 2nd trimester and almost all have them in the 3rd trimester.

    Congratulations!
