Lurker here who's been following your thread and crossing her fingers for your new arrival!
Just wanted to share that I never had a single Braxton-Hicks with my pregnancy. On B-day, I woke to a bit of amniotic fluid trickling, so I was advised to go to the hospital. Upon arrival, they said I was 3 cm and 3 minutes apart on the contractions. CONTRACTIONS???? I didn't realize I was having contractions. All I felt was a bit of tightening, but it didn't hurt. At least not for about 5 hours. :-)
I share that so you will be aware of the tightening. If you notice a pattern, well....
