I havent' read all the posts but I can totally relate. I'm pregnant with our first and I've had DP's family tell me that because DP was a hell demon baby, that this one will be. I was an easy baby, my bro was a terror.

You know what? I reckon those kind of predictions are total bollocks. When I was studying attachment theory as a part of my counselling course they went on and on about how poeple are born with a certain temperament and that's the way they are. Sometimes it can be related back through the family (in a genetic way, I suppose) but there is no way to tell what the babe will be like until you get to know it.

There are heaps of other factors (like Mum's coping style and her own experience in early childhood attachment as a child) but I wouldn't worry at all - as everyone has said.

When my DP's mother warns me about the possibility I quietly think "well, I would have been a hell demon baby too if you were my mother!" (She can be a total piece of work).
