Short mamas I need your advice!
I’m currently pregnant with baby number 2. First baby was born at 40 + 4 and weighed 8lb 5oz and ended as an emergency section due to infection. I managed to dilate to 4cm before it all went wrong. I was told then baby was “big for me” but my waters went the night before my induction. This time I’m being told the same thing. Babies too “big for me” and they’re encouraging me to have an early induction from 37 weeks or a planned section at 39 weeks. I really want a vbac and apart from being small (5 foot) there’s no medical reason why I shouldn’t be able to birth. This baby is on track for being 8lb 5oz too. Is there any mums out there who are little and had a vaginal birth? I know I can do it but need some encouragement 😅

Hey Lauren...dont stress much about vbac...i think it depends on the dilation n our cervics...I dont think there is anything to do with height.
Mine is 151cms and I had delivered my two babies via Vbac but they wer small 2.3kgs.
However, my sister in law delivered 3.4kgs baby vbac but she is also not very tall.
My colleague is 4ft 9 and had a vbac!
