[net.kids] Prenatal kicking - postnatal wakeful

riddle@ut-sally.UUCP (Prentiss Riddle) (02/06/84)

More anecdotal evidence:  my mother tells me that I was a real kicker
in the womb, but then a quiet baby and a reasonably sedate toddler.  My
little sister, on the other hand, was very inactive in the womb, but
was a squirmy infant and a rambunctious toddler.  (My parents used to
have to attach her blankets to the bed at night with safety pins;
otherwise she would kick them all off every half hour and wake up
cold.)

My wife and I have a daughter who is almost two years old now.
Since she is the only child we have, I have nothing to use for
comparison, save our experience with her.

She seemed to be EXTREMELY active from the 7th month thru delivery.
She was also an almost ideal baby.  She slept a minimum of 6 
straight hours per night from the day she was brought home from
the hospital.  She has been a delightful child to have around.

Of course, I am not in the least bit biased or prejudiced concerning
her.  She's just perfect!

(Not a scientific study, I realize, but.......)
