Tall and Petite. C-Section or Natural?

Question

I am 5ft 8in and weighed 115 pre pregnancy. Any one similar? Did you have a C-Secion or a natural birth? What was it like? Do you have any advice?? Getting a little nervous!

Answer

I'm 5-6 (which I realize isn't that tall) and 120, but my somewhat slender build didn't negatively affect anything. The doctors actually liked it because it's easier to feel the uterus and baby's position.

Answer

I'm 5'7 an was 130 pre pregnancy weight with both pregnancies. My first was a emergency csection at 35 weeks due to gastroschesis.. She was only 4lbs and I remember when the doctors came to my room in the morning everyone was making jokes about how I didn't even look like I had a baby. I'm appreciative of getting my body back immediately and recovering extremely quickly but I'm scared about this second pregnancy and bouncy back. Csection recovering was extremely easy for me. I just kept it moving and I healed quickly

Answer

I'm short and petite, 5' 3" and was 97 pounds before pregnancy and had vaginal. He was 8lbs 6oz! I pushed for like 3 hours and had a 3rd degree tear but I'm 9 days pp and only slightly sore but not anything bad.

Answer

I'm same height and also 115 pre pregnancy. I have 4 (5th on the way) and all babies were big (between 8 - 10) pounds and my labor went by quickly with all of them. You've got this 👌😁 oh and I did get epidurals with all because I'm a big baby lol

Answer

5'0ft. 105lbs pre pregnancy weight. I'm petite and had natural. It was absolutely perfect. I healed well too❤️

Answer

My doctor said the taller women can usually have a vaginal birth, barring any complications, obviously. I'm 5'9" and she seems excited that I won't have to have a c-section at this point lol.

Answer

Don't opt for n elective csection. Soooo many risks with major surgery for both mom and baby. I've got 3 kids and my 4th on the way in June. My first was a vaginal delivery, and my other two plus this next baby are all csections(medically necessary). I would NEVER choose a csection ever!!!

Answer

I'm 5'8 as well I was about 130 with my son and I had I'm natural. I didn't feel none of my contractions the whole time I was in labor until, it was almost time to push. But don't stress not worry your self your going to be fine
