34 weeks and still no BH

Working on week 35 now and I still haven't had any Braxton Hicks contractions that I'm aware of. Thursday morning I woke up to a terrible pain in my abdomen and a huge wave of nausea. The very first thought through my head was "is this a contraction? I'm so nauseous I guess I won't be able to have snacks while I'm in labor :( "

I guess it's a good thing that my major concern was snacking. Has anyone else gone this late into pregnancy before getting your first contraction?
