37+6 never felt Braxton Hicks

Hello, I keep seeing everyone talking about feeling Braxton Hicks but I haven't felt any. Just wondering if anyone else is the same. I feel a lot of pushing movements but only last a few seconds.

I think I may just be feeling some movement as I lay in bed, it's like quite sharp bubbles and making me jump! It's my second baby but I wasn't expecting to feel them this soon 🥰

Is it normal?

I’m 35 weeks and 3 days pregnant, and today I've been feeling my baby move, but the sensation is a bit uncomfortable. I just wanted to check if anyone else experiences this. Sometimes she kicks, but today it feels more like she's shifting around, and it's kind of painful, but not really at the same time.
