Too small for delivery?

Question

Im 5'5-5'6 and 114 pounds and Im really scared that im going to be too small to deliver vaginally. Multiple family members have told me they think ill have to get a c section. I know no one can tell me except my doctor. Im just scared about it. If anyone could give me hope that would be great 😫❤

Answer

My best friend was a size 0, just 5 feet
Tall and barely 100lbs and was able to deliver vaginally. That's what our bodies are made for. 
Of course depending on babies size it may not always be the case.

Answer

People much tinier than you deliver vaginally all the time, don't stress it!

Answer

Lol, girl. You got this!
I was 103 lbs and 5'2... EVERYONE told me the same thing... fast forward 8-9 months... I delivered a baby naturally... as well as no rips or anything. You'll be just fine❤❤❤

Answer

Height and weight has less to do with it.  More about the width of your hips/pelvic bones.

Answer

If family members telling you you'll need a c-section is scaring or stressing you, maybe tell them you don't want to discuss the delivery until afterward next time they try to bring it up. As you said, only your doctor can tell you. I have a friend who is just like you and she delivered three nine pound babies vaginally and without any drugs each time. It CAN be done, our bodies are made to do this, and yes sometimes it doesn't work out, but majority of the time it does (:

Answer

I'm 5' 2" and my pre pregnancy weight is 95-105lbs, my son was 9lbs 6.3oz. He was delivered vaginally and I'm now expected to have a 8 1/2-9lb baby with my little girl (my second). Trust me you can do it, the healing process is not very fun but it's all worth it!

Answer

Delivering doesn't depend of how small or big u are. It depends on the shape of the inside of your pelvis!

Answer

Height and weight means nothing. It's your cervix.

Answer
