Having babies despite being small?

[Anonymous]

I am 19 and am naturally petite in stature and am about 5'1", maybe closer to 5'2". I have never weighed more than 100lbs (I eat more than my boyfriend, so it's not from barely eating), I've just always weighed around 95-98lbs my whole life.
Eventually, I want to have children. (Probably not until late 20s). Would my size make having children difficult?

Of your pelvis bone is narrow it could be difficult for both you and the baby and more painful for you. Some petite girls have wide pelvises but really tiny waist, arms, etc... But they don't have a problem giving birth cause their hips are kind of wide/curvy. You do know that the baby passes through your pelvis to the cervix right. Don't worry about it, before you give birth the doctor will inform you if natural birth or c-section is best. If you have to have a c-section so what, just stay positive. I wish you nothing but great health, healthy babies and a happy family.

Potentially. Especially if your partner is bigger than you (bigger babies).

If you're concerned about it, talk to your doctor. They can give you a better determination of if it's safe or not because you do need to be able to gain weight during pregnancy to support the baby properly.

No, most likely, the baby will be healthy and a good size.

If you want a real reference, look at Shaq and his mom. LOL

No because the woman's body is naturally made to bare children your size is just fine when I got pregnant with my daughter I weight was only 100 and I did just fine because your hips and everything expand while your pregnant but don't worry u will go right back when u have the baby back to normal

Hmm I guess it depends how tough you are. I have an aunt who's 4'11, tinier than you and still had two girls (with no pain meds). It just depends on the individual. If you're healthy (As in healthy weight, and healthy eating), you should be fine. :-)

It won't be difficult.
