I have a dear friend who has had 2 children, she has never felt a true contraction. She was induced at 42 weeks and it was a failed induction so they had to do a C-section and then she had a RCS with her second. Anyone else never feel a contraction?

I've never felt one. I've never even had Braxton hicks. My body has never gone into labor or showed any real progress towards labor. DS1 was a scheduled c section at 39+1 due to size. When the OB saw his size, she offered a c section which I took. DS2 came at 37+5, another c section that was pushed up due to low fluid.

I only had pitocin-induced contractions, but never any braxton hicks or "natural" ones.

Me! I had two planned c-sections, one at 40+1 and the other at 41+3. Never had a contraction with either.

Me- I had an induction/Pitocin/foley bulb/epi so they started my epi before I had any real contractions. I felt pressure but never really a contraction.
