Very petite and scared of childbirth

27 replies

I am very petite - short and thin. I am terrified about childbirth because I don't know if my body will do what it's supposed to. I am also terrified about c-sections and the recovery. I'm just wondering if there are any petite moms here that gave birth vaginally. Would you mind sharing your experience?

Thank you in advance!

I'm five foot one, size 3 feet and around eight stone - gave birth vaginally to both of mine and DD2 was 7lb 14oz.

I'm 5'2" and size 6, have two completely straightforward vaginal births of average sized babies with nary a tear and no intervention.
