Am I too small for baby to be delivered vaginally?

Question

Baby was weighing in at 7lbs 14oz today at my 38w6d appointment.
I’m 122.8lbs (pre-pregnancy I was 91lbs) I’m also 5’4 in height.

Answer

No, you're not. I'm 4'11" and between 83-90 lbs pre pregnancy. I have delivered 3 children vaginally. 7 lbs 13 oz with 14 inch head, 7 lbs 12 oz with 14 inch head, and 7 lbs 2 oz with 12.5 inch head. All of them were vaginal and born without induction between 38+4 and 39+0.

Answer

Your size has nothing to do with your body's ability to birth your baby! Your pelvis expands by up to 30% during labor. I'm 5'1" and my first was 7lbs 14oz, with a 96th percentile head and she was so OP she was forehead presentation. My second was 8lbs 8oz. The thing to remember too is that baby weighing more isn't that big a deal, baby fat squishes

Answer

My 5’2” 90lb professional ballerina grandmother birthed 4 babies who all weighed between 10-11lbs.
Cephalopelvic Disproportion (CPD; when your pelvis is too small for baby to fit through) is very rare, and over diagnosed.
Your position and activity level during labor can have a huge impact on how your pelvis opens. Squatting, going on all fours, and lunging are all excellent positions for the final stage of labor!

Answer

I am 5’2”, 125lbs pre pregnancy and have delivered two 9lb babies with no meds

Answer

Absolutely not and don't let anybody try to tell you that you are. Women have been vaginally delivering babies since the beginning of time and our bodies are made to do it even if we're small. I was 108 lb at 5'5" became pregnant and birthed a nearly 10 lb baby vaginally and my doctor's never brought up the fact that I was small and couldn't deliver.
Women much smaller deliver much larger babies just fine.
If you are healthy and baby is healthy there's no need to worry.

Answer

I’m 5’3 and my last two babies were huge:
- 9 lbs 7 oz and 21 and 3/4 inches long with a 99% head. 
- 9 lbs 1 oz and 21 and 1/4 inches long with 99% head.

Answer

Nope, look up ways to open hips during labor/delivery. I was the same weight but 5’2 and I delivered 3 babies vaginally, natural too

Answer

Uh, no. I'm 5' 2" originally 115 lbs and both of my kids were decent sized babies at 8 lbs 2 oz and 8 lbs. Both delivered vaginally. Hell my youngest was out in 9 minutes!

Answer

No one is too small for vaginal delviery.
