Not feeling contractions 35 weeks

I am 35 weeks and 4 days, and for the past week or so I have been unable to feel contractions. I have been able to feel Braxton Hicks since about 20 weeks, and previously, I could definitely feel them. I am still having them because sometimes I feel my stomach and it is rock hard and I can also tell when I sit up in bed or change position, but other than that I am unable yo feel them. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm worried I will go into labor and not know. I am 1 cm dilated and will be induced at 39 weeks but doc thinks she will come before.

I have the same fear. Im 39 weeks and dont really feel them anymore. I went in for a stress test a few days ago and while i was hooked up to a monitor i was having contractions every 15 min or so and I hardly felt them. The only reason i knew they were happining is because i was focused on them and watching the monitor.
