So I’m 36 weeks pregnant with my first baby boy and I still don’t feel no contractions no Braxton hicks nothing hurts and I’ve been pretty normal my whole pregnancy thank God. Told my doc she said everything seems and looks good !! And even if I don’t feel anything yet is labor going to be hard? Or a lot worse What are y’all’s thoughts ? Should I expect the worst pain during labor ?

I think that’s only really sometimes, but it’s not 100% guaranteed that everyone experiences those! I didn’t feel them until closer to 37 weeks and even then it wasn’t that extreme it just felt like something like period pain, essentially! but I don’t believe everybody has those

so should I expect a lot of pain when I’m in labor if I haven’t felt anything yet?

No, I don’t think there’s any evidence for if you experienced them during pregnancy that your labor will be more or less painful! I would say if everything’s been healthy just enjoy that and focus on staying that way! I wouldn’t worry too much about not feeling them right now or think that will make you worse later

okay Thankyou so much for that

you’re gonna do great mama, don’t sweat it!

Hey love! I went to 41 weeks and 5 days and didn’t get any pains or labor signs until 3 days prior to having my baby (all natural) and labor was not especially painful!

Awee oh wow that’s a long time mama !!
And yeah im just wondering when the signs will be there

I was the same I had nothing at all and I didn’t until I had my waters broke😅 I got to 4cm and didn’t even know anything because I had no pains, no contractions nothing 😅
It’s completely normal and not everyone gets braxton hicks ☺️ my baby came at 38w and he’s perfect try not to worry about all these “ normal “ symptoms as it’s not everyone’s normal
My labour wasn’t that bad more tiring than painful I got more fed up of the aching than the contractions they weren’t that painful but everyone’s labour and pain tolerance is different try not to think to much into the pain at all🫶🏼xx

Awee omg that’s so crazy 4cm and no pain that’s awesome.
Hope mine is that way. Just been so scared of my pain tolerance!!!!
But I know it’s all going to be so smooth :)
Thankyou for sharing :) greatly appreciated
