womb vs. after birth question.....

I have a question for mothers out there. When I go for ultrasounds/dr appts, the babies (girls) are always VERY active. They are very active all day, and I can feel that. When the dr/nurse wants to check their heart rates, they usually have to follow them around and it takes a time or two because they keep moving. My question is this...is this an indication of what their personalities/energy levels will be once they are born?? If so, we're going to have our hands full! ha! What has your experience been?

I am not sure but if that is the case my boys are going to be a handfull. Every time I go they say those boys are stubborn they hid and they would not stay still. My son Nick was like that aswell and he is a handfull now and he is almost 5!!!! So we will see.

I have to say, it's too funny you should ask that, my husband I I were just talking about this. In the womb Baby A was our gymnist, he/she wouldn't stop moving. Baby B was the laid back one, he/she might kick once in a while.

In our situation it's the same for out of the womb. Baby A (Kate) is very energetic, a little high maintenance, and Baby B (Emma) is very coy and laid back, she's patient with us while we take care of her sister. We'll see how long it stays this way...

My twins are just like Terrystwins' twins. well except opposite. Baby A Asya is quiet and baby B Lexi is our little firecracker. They were exactly the same in the womb as well so I'd say its a likely possibility yours will show similer personality outside as they did while still in.
