I know they say you shouldnt be stressed or upset while you are pregnant because it can affect the baby. With all of my pregnancies i went thru some times when i was depressed and upset and stressed from time to time and my kids came out fine. I think my oldest is more dramatic then my other 2 but i did have alot more stress when i was pregnant with him so i am wondering if he is just acting out like that or if he is dramatic like that due to me being stressed and depressed and upset while i was pregnant? If the kids are mean to him he cries.. if he gets hurt really minor he cries, if he gets yelled at of course he is going to cry, if i tell him no he cries. or if something happens he dont like he crys. Is he just soft hearted or could that be due to how i was when i was pregnant? Do you think he is just acting out? Im having a hard time figuring this one out. The only thing i did with him that i didnt do with my other 2 was smoke while i was pregnant.. i cut down but i didnt fully quit.. i quit back in 2005 when i got pregnant with my 2nd and never started back up.

No, Jen, I don't think your personality is formed in the womb. Joey is very sensative and he always will be but, as you've seen during this past year, he's toughening up some and will do fine. I don't think you were under a lot of stress with this last pregnancy and that is one short tempered baby!
