How Does Braxton Hicks Feel Like?

35 weeks now and have read about braxton hicks. However I don't seem to experience or recognise them? How does it feel like? Is it normal to not experience it yet at 35 weeks?

Every mummy will have different experiences and not all will experience braxton hicks. I only have this for my 2nd child whc at first i thought i was already in labour. Little did i know it was just braxton hicks. Mind u, he gave me 2 false alarms. The feeling is tightening around waist area that comes with back pain, lower pelvic pain (for me, i had pain front and back) just like normal labour pain. But braxton hicks pain is not close to each other and will go away. Real labour pain will come in every 2-3 mins interval and very very strong. I gave birth to my boys at 39w, both of them 1st boy no braxton hicks, only 2nd boy at week 37 and week 38
