Hello!

I needed a c-section anyway but was led to believe that I only just made the height criteria for having a vaginal delivery. Is there some cut-off to do with pelvis size where you have to have a c-section?

  • Never heard of this…it would be more the size of your baby compared to pelvis size…ie if you’re petite and your baby is large then yes I can see them recommending a c section but your height shouldn’t matter


  • I have never heard of a minimum height requirement to have a vaginally birth.


  • Surely your height would have no bearing on whether you can have a vaginal delivery or not. I’ve never heard of this


  • I’ve never heard of a height restriction on baby’s births. But I had normal vaginal deliveries so c sections weren’t discussed


  • I had 2 vaginal deliveries, never heard of a cut off fir height though. That’s new to me
