Too small to bear children?

[bighair12]

Well, there are people of Asian descent that are rather small and they have babies all the time. I think you are over thinking this.

I think being scared of pushing a baby out of your vagina is a pretty rational fear for people of all sizes. But, people come in all shapes and sizes and they seem to all be able to reproduce just fine. If you have pregnancy-specific questions, I suggest posting them in the pregnancy forum, as we are all still trying to get knocked up.

My mom was a tiny thing and she pushed out nine and ten pound babies. You'll be fine.

I considered saying more, but really what else is there to add to this

[thechickencoop]

1. Grammar. 2. What is average height? If you are underweight (not that I know but a thought) that can affect your fertility and pregnancy I'm sure. An no one wants to think about pushing something so huge out of their vag but the body is an amazing thing and very accommodating.

What has your doctor said?

I probably am. I just sit here wondering how I'd be able to carry something that's more than 10% of my body weight, how my 22 inch waist will hold a living being etc.

Clearly I've never had any children and am full of endless irrational fears and questions.

More than 10% of your body weight? How big of a baby do you plan on having?

[dke2010]

I consider myself to be small (5'4'' and 110lbs.) and I've delivered an average-sized baby vaginally with no pain meds. Small doesn't equal c-section. It sounds like you need to work through some of your fears before attempting to get pregnant.

[britta]

My step-mom is 4'11" and barely 100lbs. She delivered 3 of her 4 children vaginally and they were all 8lbs+ at birth and over 20 inches in length. My aunt is about 5'2" and probably goes about 120lbs and delivered twins vaginally that were both 8lbs+.

Conversely, I'm the same size/weight as my aunt and couldn't deliver my 6lb son vaginally because my pelvic outlet is too small. I think height/weight of the mom has much less to do with the ability to deliver a baby vaginally than other factors. I think you're overthinking this, but I'll also add (as PPs have mentioned) fear of pushing a human baby out of your vagina, no matter your size, is probably a common and shared fear.

[TheEleventhHour]

What britta said. Just because you are short and slim doesn't automatically mean you have a pelvic outlet that cannot accommodate a baby. Any advice you get here will be anecdotal. Everyone is different. Talk to your doctor about your concerns.

What happened in here? Did we have a DD and GBCTCF in one thread?!

Looks like it! Bummer, I was hoping for more excitement out of this post...a good distraction on a Friday!

In summary, OP said several times her weight, how small she is, and how she has a 22 inch waist. She was worried she was "to" small to deliver a baby.

Shit we need to up our QFP game. We're a little rusty.

[pismoduo]

Shout out to @rutherily for getting the QFP.

I was waiting for some big dramatic thing that caused the DD.

that was my first thought too. OP wasn't even flamed either.

[getzystark]

Damnit guys QFP!!!!!

[requiressnacks]

Shit....I failed on this one. I should have QFP-ed!

She said she is 100 lbs and average height and scared that she's too small to deliver a baby. It was weird.
