Babies and their personalities

Question

Do you think it has anything to do with how you are doing your pregnancy? For example: if a woman is completely laid back and chilled and calm, etc will the baby be laid back, calm etc....or if the woman is high strung, stressed, etc, will the baby be that way?

Answer 1

No..however once the baby is born that statement is true. A baby picks up on everything,i know from personal experience when i get stressed my daughter is very unhappy,but when im happy so is she.

Answer 2

i honestly dont htink so.

i was stressed a lot durring my pregnancy to do the job that i was working at, and my son is really calm and laid back. he does have his moments, but for the most part he is such an awesome baby!!! i couldnt have asked for a better one!  

Answer 3

I don't think so.

Answer 4

I don't think the pregnancy affects it but definitely how you act when they are out of the womb.  Parents who are laid back tend to raise laid back children.  Babies definitely pick up on your emotions and can react off of them, especially if you are stressed out, tense, etc.  

Answer 5

There's no way to know for sure, but I seriously doubt it.  I was EXTREMELY stressed during much of my pregnancy and I have the happiest, most easy-going little girl.  

Answer 6

Who knows but I have heard that it makes a difference. I know my sister is pretty laid back and her youngest isnt so you never know.

Answer 7

I used to believe that, however, I think the birth order influences personalities a bit more than when they were in the womb.  I've read different articles on it, and it describes my first son to a "T."  My second is still a bit too young to tell, but it will be interesting to see how he turns out as well :)

Answer 8

No I don't think so (not necessarily). I was really stressed, I mean REALLY stressed during my pregnancy and my daughter is really laid back.
