Braxton hicks?

Hello, I only have 32 more days to go until my due date. Is it normal that I haven't felt any Braxton hicks contractions? This is my first baby.

Sometimes FTMs don't realize when they're having BH contractions cuz it's painless.  If uve ever noticed ur tummy gets really hard, that a BH contraction.  they r nothing like true labor contractions as the pains from labor feels like light menstrual cramps in the beginning to really bad menstrual cramps once ur in active labor.

With my first I never experienced Braxton hicks, when I actually went into labor I didn't realize it was actual labor I just thought Braxton hicks until they started coming regularly and getting stronger lol.
