[ozmidwifery] 4ft 9 and birthing

[Robyn Dempsey]

Wump fish was saying last week an Ob said a primip who was 4ft 9' should have a c-section over natural childbirth.   Well, that's my height, my husband is 6ft 2! I'm a midwife,and was doing my training when I fell pregnant with my first baby. I  had sooo many Obs telling me that 'you'll be a c-section', that, had I been any other person, it would have totally eroded my confidence to birth.   I've had 3 babies, all born at home..........does anyone realize that 1/3 of the worlds population is about that height?????   Robyn Dempsey
