Does active baby in womb = active baby later?

I'm getting a little nervous. This baby has been a lot more active than DS was. DS seemed "normal" to me in the womb with long, quiet periods as well as periods of frequent movement. When he came out, he turned out to be VERY active and demanding. He's not hyper but he.is.always.busy.

there may be a correlation but it's not a guarantee as your experience with your first child h

For me, this was true. DD1 moved what I thought was "a lot" until I was pregnant with DD2, who was be-bopping around like she was dancing in there! It isn't that she is more active, exactly, but just more interested in physical milestones. DD1 was pretty

For me it was true. DS was crazy active inside, and is crazy active outside too. He never stops moving, unless he's sound asleep. But he does sleep well, and is very happy! He was very easy for the first 8 months or so, easier than most, but has been mor
