Depending on your height, can labor be more difficult?

Question

I'm not plan on getting pregnant any time soon but I'm really short and I am concerned that my short stature may increase my chances of having a difficult pregnancy? I've tried looking online but I can't seem to find anything helpful.

I'm 4'9

Answer

I'm barely 5 foot tall! I have two kids 11 year old boy 15 month old girl I carried both of them fine (though I was huge haha) and was able to labor them both vaginally without pain medication!

Answer

I'm 4'9" n pushed my boys out naturally the dr didn't think I could but u did n my second one was easy breezy both of my babies were 7 lbs. babies

Answer

I'm sure women of all heights and sizes have been giving birth since the beginning of time.

And if it is an issue, there's other alternatives to vaginal birth

Answer

Well I was told no but if you are like gaining to much weight it can be difficult I'm barely 5 feet tall and my mother is 4'11 and is being smaller people it's worse for us to keep blaming all your eating on the baby cause it's not true but can also cause a difficult pregnancy 😞 so yea maybe not your height but weight could ba a factor

Answer

No not at all I had the best delivery and I'm short!

Answer

My cousin is about your height, weighed 85lbs before pregnancy and she had her daughter vaginally. And that baby was a big one at nearly 8lbs! Her pregnancy was easy, other than horrible morning sickness. She even worked until she went into labor. Not to mention, women with dwarfism have healthy children all the time.
