DD1 felt like she was clawing her own way out from the inside. She kicked SO much, and so hard. She was an extremely intense, colicky infant, and is still very intense and assertive as a 3 year old.

DD2 was a lot calmer in the womb. That could have been because she spent a lot of time breech--I'm not sure. She's calmer than my first, but still had some colic periods and intensity, and is a hilariously-assertive 14 month old whose current favorite word is "no." So yes, she was calmer inside and is a bit calmer out, but it's all relative, because I'm comparing her to her sister, and someone else may find her extremely intense on her own.

Yep DD was calm in utero never had HUGE movements and she is such a chill baby!!!!

DD1 used to push her bum against me until I patted or rubbed her (through my belly) and at 3, is a sweetheart who craves reassurance and cuddles.

DD2 was an aggressive flopper, turner, kicker, and and 31 weeks had me on my hands and knees in pain for over an hour while she attempted some sort of acrobatic manuever in utero. At nearly 1 she is still a very physical kid, flips and flops at night and/or when you try to hold her for more than 30 seconds (though she loves a 30 second cuddle). Her "tired pose" is something she definitely did in the womb (I know this both from what I felt and from ultrasounds; I had 14+) - laying on her side with legs hyperextended in a pike position, crossed at the ankles. She still does this whenever she wants a nap.

I only have one, but I feel like she was the same inside and out. She was crazy active (like, shockingly active the docs said) but always let me sleep at night. She also always got hiccups around dinner time in my last trimester. She came out a super awake/alert baby, rarely slept during the day but slept great at night (at first), and still always got the hiccups around dinner time. Now at almost a year she is still crazy active. We have always called her perpetual motion baby

In utero both were very active and VERY strong but with long quiet periods. The nurses in L&D were shocked at how strong the kicks were from the outside. Then I'd have mild freak outs because they hadn't moved enough.

Outside they both got physical milestones early and slept through very early. They both sleep for long enough periods where I wonder if they're still breathing.

Yup. I have twins and there was a stark contrast between the two. One side was constantly kicking, jabbing, moving and just overall a pretty wild child. The other side was more gentle and chill. They're 18 months now and yes, I still see the correlations today.

DS barely moved at all in the womb. This could have had to do with the fact that he was breech the entire time AND I had an anterior placenta. But even in every ultrasound, he would barely move and he would always put his hand over his face like he was saying "don't bother me" lol. He was and still is an amazing sleeper and he's pretty chill about a lot of stuff, but at the same time he can definitely be very active.

This baby.. I have an anterior placenta again but I'm already feeling him/her and I'm only 14 weeks. And when we had our 12 ultrasound the baby would not stop moving!

LO #1 was a big hiccuper in the womb. I constantly felt him hiccuping, and he gets the hiccups all the time...even at 2.5! He was pretty active...especially to music and loves to dance even now.

LO #2 so far, I feel him moving a lot earlier. He's a kicker, but only every so often. We'll see how he comes out!
