Mara--
Your DS sounds alot like how my DD was in utero -- constantly moving and wriggling.
Like you, I didn''t have to worry about kick count.
Actually, she moved so much that I would worry if I don''t feel her move within half an hour.
I really don''t know how active she is compared to other babies since I don''t have the chance to experience another fetal movement 24/7.
But I can tell you that she was really active and strong....so much so that she can actually pushed me away from the counter when I was washing the dishes.
Sorry to tell you though that she''s the same in utero and out.
The toddler moms can vouch for me that I have a non-napper.
She was only getting 10 hr of sleep at night w/ 1 or 2 naps of half an hour each during the day as an infant.
She''s always on the move and climbing up high.

JT was like a jack rabbit in the womb. I started feeling him moving at 13 weeks and it was all day long! Around 32 weeks, he wasn''t moving nearly as much but he was also a giant and had very little room. JT is almost 4 and is a very mellow, laid back, observant kid.
My sis''s little boy hardly moved in the womb and he is a crazed maniac at nearly 3 yrs old.
For us at least, it was complete opposite personalities once outside the womb.

Not necessarily for activity but strength, was true for my two kids but maybe not necessarily true in general.
First pregnancy was pretty laid back. Main thing was baby in womb slept during the day, and only woke up at night. Her movements were more flutterly than anything, nothing too strong. After she was born her day/night schedule was flipped for first 4 months, but in general she was both a laid back baby and child.
Second baby listening to heartbeat my ob guessed it might be a boy. Ultrasound said a girl. But I could feel her move sooner than the first and sometimes with strong kicks whoah! so I joked with my husband maybe the ultrasound was wrong, maybe it''s a boy after all because of the way it felt. Nope, she just grew into a girl who is strong (and very determined) for her size.

lol LIA congrats..!!
re: strong and active, that would be great, i would love it if he was strong and active. i just know that i was really hyper active and my mom really had to work to channel my energy into positive arenas. she said i was not particularly crazy in the womb, but i think i was way more energetic outside.
lili, yeah i havent done any kick counts, actually the other day i 'estimated' how much i feel him. i would say that if the kick count chart said 'you should feel him 10 times in 60 minutes', that is about 2 minutes out of 60. so about 48 minutes out of 24 hours, or round it to one hour every 24 hours. i feel this kid like at least 3-4 hours a day. i feel 10 kicks in 10 seconds most of the time. crazy.
i will say one thing, he's stubborn and persistent haha. when he tries to get up all on the right side and greg talks to him, he goes back 'inside' and the belly gets softer all over. but then within 5 minutes he is right back in his fave position. he's like 'screw you dad, i do what i want!' hahaha.

Well Mara,
My ODD was very quiet in the womb, and not she is like a tornado...nothing is left standing in her path! My newest DS (5 1/2 months) was a maniac in my belly--I swear he never slept, and by maniac I mean crazy movement for hours on end--I thought he was trying to bust his way out on his own! He is now the most mellow baby....I hope it sticks!
Good luck with your newly upcoming addition!

Though my son weighed eight and one half pounds he managed to stay transverse almost until delivery. I could see his arms and legs flailing like a couple of kids rough housing under a blanket. He actually was able to spread my ribs apart.I got very little rest let alone sleep. Fortunately laying on the floor with my legs raised made him turn in the right direction and he was too big to turn back.
He was an extremely active infant. There was no way I could leave him on a bed when we went visiting as my SILs did with their kids. And oh how I envied the moms whose kids slept peacefully in their strollers. Mine was like Houdini and I had to resort to a "harness and leash" that got me many disapproving stares at the mall. I have videos of him from when he was two that look like they have been speeded up.
But around school age he settled down and today he is grown and one of the most laid back people you would want to meet.Though he does have his RPG obsessions he is more cerebral than physical.

I wish!
Daisy was pretty laid back in utero, slept most of the day and then woke up in the evening.
On the outside she is the child who never sleeps during the day - Christmas day she went from 8.30am till 11pm without a snooze and was still happy and smiling, unlike moi who was knackered!
She''s 7 months and can cruise around furniture pretty well and is trying hard to walk - with bruises to prove it. Both DH and I were early walkers so that may have something to do with it, but I was hoping she''d be slower as I now have a demanding child who is constantly into everything and one you can''t put down anywhere without watching every second.
The hiccups have remained though!

so mara,
i was wondering if hyper in womb equals hyper outside womb for you?or is it too soon to tell?
BUT he is a mover and shaker and flailer with the arms and legs and he moves as much outside as he did inside, even from day one. so we think he will be very active and strong...and he already is lifting his head and using his arms to hold himself up off our bodies at 1.5 weeks. when he popped out and they put him on me, he lifted his head!
oh and hiccups, he still gets them about 2-3x a day! the LC said that means he is full but i don''t know if that is all it means for him since he gets them sooo frequently. poor thing, he doesn''t do anything at all to show if it bothers him but it shakes his entire little body!

My first was pretty mellow in utero but quite the busy body/spirited child on the outside. My 2nd was beyond mellow to the point of me having to poke her to get her to move. Her hands and feet constantly moved after she was born, she started walking at 10 months and is quite active now but a real sweetheart in terms of personality. It's interesting to hear the differences in everyone. I guess there really is no correlation!
