Short mommas (5ft & under) how did you deliver baby?

Question

I’m 4’11 my doctor said I’m so small and she’s hoping that I’ll deliver vaginaly but there’s a chance I can have a cesarean.

Answer

My son had a huge head and wasn’t engaging so I had a csection. My Dr said it has nothing to do with your height- it’s the size of your pelvis that does.

Answer

i’m 4’11 and i have the same question! i do know someone who is the same height as me who had to get a c-section because her pelvis was too small for the baby to fit and she tried to go vaginally at first

Answer

Haven’t delivered yet! I’m 4’9 and 8 months pregnant. My OB hasn’t mentioned anything about c-section yet! Hoping to deliver vaginally 🤞

Answer

My mom told me I was too tiny to deliver vaginally . I’m 5 ft exactly and I delivered vaginally and hoping to deliver this one vaginally too.

Answer

It just depends on everyone. You won’t for sure deliver vaginally or by csection. Just gotta wait till the time comes. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
I’m 4”11 & had a csection with my first because he was just too big to fit. I opted for a csection this time again because I just don’t think my body can do it. My babies are just big & have very big heads. 😅

Answer

I’m 5 foot exactly and I haven’t heard of not being able to deliver vaginally because of height

Answer

Im the same height and so far vaginal birth. My last appt they said baby was a little big in like the 97th percentile so they scheduled an anatomy scan. That might make it a cesarean of she gets bigger cause im only 33 weeks.  I go this saturday.

Answer

My mother in law is 4’10 and delivered both of her children vaginally. Daughter was 8lbs 12oz and her son (my husband) was 7lbs 8oz.
