Well, my eldest is adopted.. so I cant answer for him.. BUT my twins.. this is def true. The “oldest” of the twins was VERY active in the womb and is the life of the party outside. The “youngest” was very mellow. Didnt move much but when he did.. he made sure you knew it was him and made it count! He is my couch potato and a very sensitive soul. I remember in the unltrasound room trying to find out gender, the oldest kept kicking the other and he would curl up and hide. after about an hour we finally got a peek. Funny thing was that even outside the womb the oldest tends to beat up on the other and when they are in water.. the oldest stretches out and the youngest curls up and crosses his legs :) They were both also very calm at night.. something I cherish now as both sleep VERY well.

Now the one thats in there now.. she is ACTIVE and seems to be a bit stubborn as she likes to stay breech most of the time (Doesnt both me, I birthed on my twins breech) She is also most active at night.. so that has me a bit worried about my much valued sleep :)

I have three small boys and my first son is very stubborn. When I ask him to do something he always has an excuse as to why he doesn’t want to do it but he is very gentle and great in school and with other kids. My middle child is a people pleaser and doesn’t like ruffling anyone’s feathers and always jumps right up to do what I ask him to do. My third child is the youngest (only 3) but he is very unaware of the term “sharing” and likes to get his was all the time. There are obviously different personality traits for every child and I don’t think anything this mom said about her 3 year old daughter is wrong. Me and my husband often joke that the first two are angels and our third one is going to be our “problem”! They are all different and they are all LOVED no matter what their personality!

i agree. thats y they say all pregnancies are diffrent….my daughter she was stuborn, always pokin her butt out, and feet in the ribs, and always moving….she is now ready to be 3, still stuborn, her way or the highway and always dancing, she loves music…..

My mom says that I was a difficult baby from conception on. My mom’s about 5’4″, and I was over 21″ of baby in there, so I kept her awake a LOT apparently. She also said that one Friday on her way home from an appointment, she felt some pain, and then I stopped moving. She freaked out, made an appointment for that Monday, and spent the weekend scared because I never moved at all the entire time. At the appointment, I was still alive (obviously!), but apparently I had FINALLY gotten comfortable and slept for a weekend straight.

After I was born, things didn’t get any easier – acid reflux, etc. And I wouldn’t let my dad hold me until I was almost a year old! They thought it was dad’s moustache, but my Grandpa had one and I liked him just fine (although he was one of those never-held-a-baby-what-do-I-do-with-this-thing sort of Grandpas). Then around 9 months, I decided that dad was cool and was a daddy’s girl from then on. You never really can predict these things!
