Does everyone get braxton hicks contractions?

Yes: The uterus is a muscle and like all muscles contracts periodically during the pregnancy. Some people "feel" these contractions more than others.

Probably: Probably yes, but some women feel these tightenings while others do not. If one does not feel them it is not abnormal.
