Hi, my husband & I are going to start trying to have a baby soon & I'm (mostly) prepared for things like my diet, exercise, 'morning' sickness, so on and so forth. However, I'm TERRIFIED of giving birth. I'm five foot even, and my weight is usually between 107-110. Im not very big at all & everyone thinks that my frame is too small to be able to deliver the natural way, which leaves me with the only other option being a c-section. Although I would love to have my baby naturally since its less complicated and requires less down time, I think a c-section would be a safer, less stressful option for myself and my baby, given my frame. Definitly not the easier option, but I would rather have a planned c-section that I'm prepared for rather than being rushed into an operating room & getting cut open in a matter of minutes with no prior warning or anything. Basically... my question is for anyone who isnt exactly the tallest person in the world... did you have trouble during labor? and did you chose natural delivery or a c-section? or is there really any difference in pregnancy and labor between someone who is five foot or someone who is five foot nine? Any advise would be greatly, greatly appreciated! Thank you
