What does it mean if I'm not feeling my contractions?
I went to the doctor the other day and they hooked me up to the monitor again to hear babies heart rate.. Well apparently I was having contractions that I could not feel. They asked me if I felt the contraction I was having and I said no because I honestly felt nothing.. Has anyone heard of this before? Or know what this could mean? Thank you for your help!!

They are obviously just very mild contractions, your womb "practices" for a while before you give birth, in increases blood flow to the muscles. You may have had Braxton Hicks contractions which are stronger? This is the same, your womb practicing and getting into shape for the big day so to speak.
When the real contractions start you will know don't worry.
