Not feeling contractions?

Does anyone else have no clue what a contraction feels like outside of labor? With my first I didn't feel a thing prior to labor and same is going with this one so far and I'm 30w. Just wondering if anyone else doesn't get them or they are so minor you can't even tell. Is that a bad thing?

I think I got BH contractions...it feels like your tummy is getting squeezed and tight and hard.

Ya. I don't understand. I read about everyone else and I keep thinking "is this normal?" Maybe more normal than I had thought prior, but still. This is number 2 for me and I haven't felt a thing at 30w. I wonder what that could mean of it means anything at all? It does make me wonder what they feel like, but maybe we are better off without? Idk.

Im a ftm and i havent really felt anything so far and im 28 weeks. I had some muscle cramps across my stomach but nothing that sound like what everyone tells me. Which is like tightening or something like that. Idk ive been wondering if ive just not noticed or if im not having them. I suppose it normal. No clue though.
