Did your baby's movements in the womb match their personality when they arrived?

Maybe this is a weird question, and it's just for fun, but this is my second pregnancy that's made it to the point of feeling baby's movements. I remember my first baby was really active on scans, generally flinging herself about while she had the space to do so. She looked like a little acrobat. In the third trimester she got hiccups a lot. Not unusual at all but she was very refluxy when she was born and hiccupped a lot earthside too. She's always been a physically daring child who loves to run and climb.

My current pregnancy I've had a lot of scans, and every single time without fail, baby has been snuggled up face down, reluctant to move much and difficult to get all the images of.

I'm just wondering if this is any kind of indication that she will be a more chill, cuddly baby? Obviously the data is so limited to how a baby is behaving during the few minutes it's scanned, or what movements can be felt by the mother/from the outside but I have a vague sense of a different personality in there than my first child and was interested to know others' experiences.

Was your baby just like they were in utero? Or were they even the opposite?

Yes -37 years ago my middle son was a real wriggler and used to wake me up at night with his strong movements. Once born he was by far the most muscular and active.

Seems to be true for my boy. He was always on the move when I was pregnant, bashing about in there like he was attempting a breakout every day, my scans never went to plan because they couldnt get clear shots of him due to the movement etc, and as a 2.5yo he’s pretty much the same, never ever stops moving! He’s always slept remarkably well too though, but he never kept me awake kicking etc when I was pregnant either I suppose! He’d stop around 10ish for the night 😂
