I put this is general so anyone can answer whether pregnant or not (if your not pregnant so dont lurk in pregnancy area...if that makes sense)
I was told the other day that mothers who have had a baby of each gender have claimed that babys movements while in utero have been very different eg: one genders movements were always more kicks etc the other was more swooping/rolling motions...... What do you think???? Sound right for your pregnancies???? |

hmm, have never thought of it as a gender thing, just as a different baby thing , but Caitlyn was very poky and proddy , legs sticking out here there and everywhere ,and her kicks were usually at the side
Tyler is more rolling , and kicks more under my ribs . (so far anyway ) -------------

| Ummm yeah I guess they were different, Caprece was a lot more active. I think its more different babies rather than a gender thing. |

I also think its different babys not gender .... but Jake moved constantly and it was lots of pokes/kicks. This girl pushes alot harder and the movements are more rolling earlier on than I had them with Jake - but she doesn't move quite as often. She is bigger (apparently) so maybe has less room?!
Jake also slept most of the night, and this girl moves all night (not a good sign, as he is a great sleeper so maybe this one won't be?!?) ------------- DS (5yrs) and DD (3yrs) |

Both of mine were kickers. Luckily I have a long torso so they weren't up under my ribs, but painful just the same!! ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids

Mine have been very different but I think tis because with Caden I had a posterior placenta and felt a lot of sharp hard movements, this time the placenta is anterior and I get soft prods and sweeping motions.
This one is a girl, but I still think its to do with where your placenta is.. ------------- |

Yup I'd be more inclined to say that it is different babies movements rather than gender. Most observations of fetal movements that I've studied and read about found no co-relation between movements and gender. In vitro babies tend to do the same range of moments no matter whether they're male or female as it's preparation for the outside world -------------

Mine have all been different and they're all pink ones. Mercedes was a right bully, beat the living daylights out of me, Sienna was so quiet I had to have CTG's done every 2 days to check on her. Mind you, it can also depend on how bub is lying, coz they could *see* Sienna moving on ultrasound yet I couldn't feel her at all.
Maya was pretty average I guess and lil miss wasn't a big kicker which surprises me coz she has been on the move since the minute she flew into the world and is by far the most hyper of my babies. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

sounds like an old wives tale to me then
I dont really remember how Bay was (except that he was very quiet!) and i dont think i remember enough about astins to compare but from what i can recall he was a kicker and this baby is a roller!! |

Definately not for me. Dominic kicked me repeatedly in the same spot 24 hours a day, I swear I was bruised . One day I counted that he kicked me over 400 times (big kicks not little ones) in a 6 hour period  . I don't know what she was doing but Isobelle's movements felt like she had a knife and was cutting her way out. Needless to say I was not a happy, glowing pregnant women!
