I always say plan for the worst and expect the best. :) This time around, I'm also planning on going late again so that I won't be so disappointed. But I'm sure you'll be ready when the time comes!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2111685 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 12:03:05 +0000 mediagirl 2111685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never had 'em. She was born 2 days after her due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2111673 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 11:58:14 +0000 MrsBucky 2111673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: Fair point. I am 39+2 today, and I keep telling people I fully expect to go late- I think everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I'd rather be prepared for that than feel like every day from now until when I give birth lasts a year because I expected to go into labor early or on time! Although now I wonder if I'm ready to go into labor mentally--- like have a psyched myself up so much to go late that I won't feel ready if I go into labor tonight? Hah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2111662 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 11:51:17 +0000 Mommy Finger 2111662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBucky: To be fair, I was still induced. But at the rate that the nurse told me I was having contractions at 37 weeks, she said there was no way I would make it to my due date. Note to all nurses out there. . . NEVER tell a pregnant woman this. It made going past my due date all the more difficult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110980 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 22:51:24 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2110980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You might also be having them and not really feeling them. Some people don't. Perhaps because you are in such great shape??! :happy: I had a ton early with this second pregnancy but barely any with my son. Good luck! I hope she comes a bit early so you get more time with your husband! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110979 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 22:47:30 +0000 kodybear 2110979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i never had them with either pregnancy. i delivered dd 37w5d and ds 38w! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110950 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 21:56:45 +0000 ALV91711 2110950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had one. My water broke at 38 weeks and it was a bit over an hour before I felt a contraction. 12 hours later DS was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110892 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 20:20:42 +0000 Mrs. J 2110892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure that they mean anything—i had them with DS, and he was ten days late! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110889 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 20:17:30 +0000 kjpugs 2110889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never had any with DD1, and went into labor on my due date. Labored mildly at home from about 8am-6pm and then hospital... had her at 7:28am the next day. None yet with DD2 either but I'm only 17 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110878 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 20:04:20 +0000 PrincessBaby 2110878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: My OB said she will start sweeping my membranes at 36/37 weeks in order to speed things along...I'll be going weekly at that point so I guess we'll just do it until induction if it doesn't work? It's not that big of a deal if I go to induction, but it will just mean that my husband gets more time with her. But it will all be fine either way:) I hope I'm lucky enough to respond like you did to a membrane sweep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110872 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 19:48:54 +0000 lawbee11 2110872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: My OB swept my membranes at my 38w appt and I went into labor that evening. I was already dilated 2cm and had lost my mucus plug so it could've just been a coincidence, but can't hurt to try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110867 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 19:41:20 +0000 hellobeeboston 2110867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never had any.

I would love to "beat" my induction at 39/3. Absolutely LOVE!</p> <p>@PurplePeony: You are what I call the Pregnancy Unicorn. The mythical creature that goes into labor during the 37th week, when baby is full term and lungs are good, and you just magically got a few weeks of the misery of pregnancy shaved off, haha. I drive a lot for work, and this is my fantasy while I'm driving:) I want to be a Pregnancy Unicorn!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110798 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 17:40:02 +0000 mrsjyw 2110798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never had any w Ds.

I haven't been sure whether I was having them or not- I never really notice them, but sometimes notice my whole belly is super hard, so I thought maybe that was a BH? I'm 39+1 today, so I'm glad to hear stories of people not being aware of them and going into labor eventually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110648 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:27:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 2110648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 never had them, DD2 I've had them (and normal contractions) I was induced with DD1 and will have a RCS with number two so I'm not help with if they meant something! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110642 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:25:22 +0000 Cherrybee 2110642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had any! I was induced at 38 weeks due to GD so I don't know how my body would have fared if I had gone to term. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110641 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:25:20 +0000 meredithNYC 2110641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never felt any with LO #1, went into labor at 38.5 weeks.

She was born the next morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110624 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:15:57 +0000 birdofafeather 2110624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i never felt anything, but i was in l&amp;d for the flu a week before LO made her appearance and they said i was having contractions, but didn't feel a thing. i had LO at 39w3d. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110623 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:13:43 +0000 Smurfette 2110623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had any. Water broke at 39 weeks. It was probable 3 hours later before I had a contraction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110620 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:09:48 +0000 Mamasig 2110620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never felt BH or real contractions and I've been pregnant twice. DS1 came at 39 weeks - scheduled c section and DS2 came at 37 1/2 weeks - rcs bumped up because of low fluid. I never showed any signs of imminent labor either time. I think my body would probably not go into labor on its own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110612 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:05:34 +0000 LAZB 2110612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really have them (maybe once or twice) with my son, but had him at 35.4 weeks after my water broke. I did have them with my daughter, and had her at 36.3 after my water broke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110606 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:00:25 +0000 mfa_lady 2110606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had MAYBE one. (It was questionable.) I went into labor on my own (water broke) and had my babe 7 hours later. During the real deal, though, I only had back labor. Not sure if that makes a difference or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110605 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:00:19 +0000 DillonLion 2110605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never had any contractions except for the hour long period between when my pitocin contractions started and the epidural kicked in :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110604 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:00:17 +0000 PurplePeony 2110604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only had one that I could feel and it was either late 2nd tri or early 3rd tri.

I'm interested to know how it will be with this pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-never-really-get-bh-contractions#post-2110596 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 14:54:51 +0000 blackbird 2110596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had any!
