    Active in womb = Active baby?

    This baby is so much more active than DS in the womb, and DS turned out to be a very placid baby and is still a very placid toddler. Just wondering if theres any correlation between how active babies are in the womb and then as babies/children...

    Matilda was extremely active in the womb & yep... extremely active on the outside. Jovie was active but not as and she's not active at all.

    very true for my dd too, she doesn't even sit still to have a bottle, she is always kicking her legs and swatting me with her hands.... does not stop for a second. even in her sleep she is extremely restless.

    good luck!!

    Hmm- this is interesting. My bubba moves around enough that I know things are okay but has only gone crazy active a few times. Fingers crossed this means we'll have a placid, quiet, little one

    Yeah I would definitely say its true, although when I had Paris I thought she was overly active until I had Seth LOL! Also seth was a LOT stronger than Paris in the womb, he would really hurt me when kicked and punched sometimes and he's a very strong little mite now. Oh and active doesn't mean anything negative IMO. Seth is a lot more physical than Paris ever was but he still has the beautiful nature that his sister has, so apart from my house looking like a tip every now and again I haven't hated having an active kid

    My junior is not too active in the womb. He/she doesnt kick me so hard it hurts but I can feel that he/she is there. Will see what happens after he/she comes out.
    My mum says I was the same. But I was a $h*t of a kid so who knows.

    Jensen wasn't really a mover, but has been active and busy since the day he was born.

    Oscar was active in spurts iykwim?! He is still like that now... he will be quiet and still one minute just playing quietly then the next minute he is squealing, trying to move around etc.

    So true for me too I guess!
