C-section or Natural Childbirth?

you’re barely getting out of your first trimester, so there is no way to tell at this point. women have been giving birth since time began, and no doctor would recommend giving you a c-section unless it was an emergency. you would be surprised how much your body will take over and get the job done while you’re in labor.

NAtural unless there are any problems…very few people are too small to give birth…I had to have a c sectio because my pelvis is very narrow…but I am not physically small…I am 5 foor 6 inches and averagely built…they didnt know my pelvis was small till I couldn;t get the baby out..her head would not pass through the bony section of my pelvis…natural birth is better for everyone…I hope you can give birth..I will never know the experince of having a baby naturally…I cannot do it.

that’s something your doctor will determine as your pregnancy progresses. being 16, you will most likely want natural birth anyways. a c-section could leave you with a terrible scar. a friend of mine is 18 and recently had her first child via the natural way. she said it was a relief to find it was a lot more simple and painless than she imagined. you may not even get very big, everyone is different. talk with your doctor about your wishes and concerns.

…and picking up some vitamin E oil won’t hurt. rub it on your belly at least once a day to promote healthy skin stretching with limited marks.

So you think because you are 16 you are too ‘little’ to have a baby?
Maybe you should have thought of this before you had sex.
Womens bodies are designed to have chidren. That’s what we do.
A girl can get her period at 11, therefore can get pregnant at 11, therefore have a baby at 11. There are circumstances that require women to have a c-section. But just because you are 16 – uhhh no.
You sound really immature if this is what is concerning you.

Many petite women have given birth before. Unless they think your baby is extremely large (like 10+ lbs) or you or the baby have medical problems, you’ll deliver vaginally. Also, being able to give birth has to do with the shape and size of your pelvis, which has nothing to do with how big or small you look.

I was 23 when my daughter was born but my pre pregnancy weight was under 7 stone (98 pounds) and I used to go clubbing in age 13 year olds skirts cause my hips were so small.

I always thought I might be too small but I gave birth vaginally easily. You will be surprised what your body can do and I only had gas and air. Good luck xx

i was also 16 when i had my baby and i was worried about the exact same thing, (i was a size 4 before i got pregnant). but i later learnt size doesnt always matter i had baby natural (movies make it look way too easy lol), n usually they wont say u need a c section unless baby is in distress or u aren’t dilating properly. hope my answer helps in some way and good luck with everything

I’d say it will be natural childbirth unless you are having complications. At 16 you are in great shape to give birth so don’t worry, it won’t be harder just becaue your younger. Go to pre-natal birth classes and get info on childbirth and you’ll be fine
