39 weeks Sunday

My due date is may 23rd but I haven't really had any braxton hicks a little here and there but not very much and I've had back pain. Is it normal to be this close to my due date and not feel very many contractions?

If you cervix is still completely closed you probably haven't had any see as how the contractions are from you dilating. I'm 38w no contractions and not dilated at all and have had three children. Some women start dilating/contracting weeks before labor and then some like me, get checked and was completely closed then the next day I went into labor.

Not all women notice the contractions but u definitely have them. Every woman is different. I just recently started feeling them and I'm about to be in week 39.

I'm due on the same day. I haven't had many contractions at all and at 38 weeks checkup My cervix is completely closed. I have my c-section scheduled on 21st due to her being breach, but they might move it up a bit  since my amniotic fluid is decreasing. Good luck, you're almost there!
