Do you think babys movement is a sign of its personality?!

suzanne108 · Dec 20th, 2009, 08:50 AM

Last few weeks babys movements have REALLLY slowed down, I know its normal but I mean some days I worry. Baby always moves when I try one of our many tricks (cold drink, sugar, bath, lie on my back), I've been on monitors and told the MWs but everything is fine so I'm not worried.

Anyway, was lying in bed earlier and got to thinking....do you think this is a sign of how baby is going to be when its here?

I remember a couple of days ago redpoppy posted that her baby was really lively, she's due the day before me I think.....so do you think she will have a lively energetic baby and mine will be placid and laid back?

(redpoppy if you read this I'm not pinpointing you lol, just using you as an example to explain what I mean

)

I don't mind whether my baby is lively or placid but I just got to thinking....do babies develop a little personality or routine before they even enter the big bad world??

I've wondered this before. Given that when my LO moves now it hurts me I'm hoping it's not a sign that he's going to be a little thug in later life

I'm like Katy....mine is so active and so violent I can only assume she's gonna be a psychopath.

isn't it said that it's usually the opposite.
so if your baby's lively in the womb it tends to be quieter once out. And vice versa

Mine is lazy

Even when I poke her bottom she isn't all that fussed. I think their activity on the inside should reflect their activity on the outside to some degree surely or wouldn't they all move the same amount?

Mine doesnt move when I poke it either.....whether that means its lazy or stubborn I don't know but it'd take after me on both of those!!

Mine will be arrested for gbh before he reaches 2 at this rate :-D I do think there's something in it, but maybe it'll just be an indication of when they'll be awake and asleep.

Mine tends to be much quieter in the mornings and very lively in the evenings - just like me and OH who are both night owls!!

Mine still dances like mad then stops as soon as OH comes over to feel him / her. I reckon I've got a awkward little soul in there!
