Yeah I didn't notice my Braxton hicks at all and my belly didn't drop until I was in mid labor

Im 34w + 1d and i told my midwife id had no braxton hicks and no pain at all, she asked if my stomach ever goes mega hard for a few seconds.... yeah it does.... that is a braxton hick! Its the tightening of the wall muscles, practice contractions, some women notice them some dont, they could get worse n hurt they could not!
I think my baby has even turned round again from being head down from where the movement has been but she still has 6 weeks (maybe more but hopefully not) to get ready to come out. Hope this helps x
