no braxton hicks contractions?

so I heard that braxton hicks are practice contractions that prepare you for the real thing when the time comes.

wat if I don't get braxton hicks? is everyone supposed to get it? does it also help to prepare baby for the real thing?

I'm 32 weeks.

My first pregnancy i didn't have any Braxton Hicks.  My second pregnancy i had it towards the end.  This pregnancy i have it off and on since week 16 and now I'm  30 weeks. For my it is a hard uncomfortable tightening in thebelly.  Not sure how it prepares for the real thing since the real ones hurt a lot more.
