I just hope he doesn't wait that long I want too have him here already oh and a good advice when u feel contractions closer too each other then write them down and go too the hospital when u feel them the closest like every 5 minutes or so or maybe even less your water doesn't have too break.

It is normal I'm just starting too feel them and I'm already 39 weeks with 2 days so since I saw my doctor Friday he said I might not be ready for my due date which is on the 16 so he might induce my labor until the 21st but good luck too you take care .

If your referring to my post, there was no sarcasm, I was genuinly responding to your question. Maybe you shouldn't jump to conclusions so quickly and so harshly for no reason. Maybe reactions like this are what make people shy away from wanting to be helpful.

I didn't see anyone making "smart remarks" as you say... I see a few genuinely helpful comments and genuinely curious questions. Unless something was deleted, that is. Unless people specify between the two, others are likely to assume that when questions are asked about contractions, the question refers to actual contractions and not Braxton Hicks or "false" contractions. Nobody was deliberately baiting you.
Many women expecting their first child do not feel anything resembling contractions until the beginning of actual labor. So your experience thus far is perfectly within the wide range of what is considered "normal". Some women do not feel them with subsequent pregnancies either, which is also "normal" but less common.

I assumed you all would know that I meant braxton Hicks since I'm only 35 weeks but let me clarify just for you. Is it normal not to have felt any Braxton Hicks contractions (which they are contractions) this far into my pregnancy... smart remarks are the reason why I shy away from asking questions on here anymore

I have 2 days til my due date and I don't feel Braxton Hicks contractions. Doctor said I probably am having them and don't feel/notice them. Don't worry about it!(: its perfectly normal

You should only feel contractions if/when your in labor, I hope at 35 weeks you are not. You might be talking about braxton hicks? It is common for some woman to not feel these.
