First time moms with petite structure..how was your birth experience?
I am a FTM 38+5 weeks pregnant.i am 5'1 and very petite.even UK size 6 fit me before pregnancy.so i am basically XXS size originally.i am extremely scared of two following things:
being a first time mom ,if i would go into labor naturally or not.the place where i live ,you can only be induced after 41+3.but i am scared that the more i go further the more baby will become big resulting in a difficult delivery.
i am extremely scared of shoulder dystocia.i don't want to have a vacuum or forceps assisted delivery as i have heard lots of negative things about both.
So my questions are : what are the chances of complications like shoulder dystocia and if such a situation arises should i then request for C section instead of having a forceps assisted delivery?
I so desperately want to go into natural labor as soon as possible as i am in tooooooooo much pain,whats the thing that helped you? I am eating dates , raspberry leaf tea, pineapple and doing few exercises on exercise ball.
I am a first time mom so i have no idea about these things, excuse me if any of it sounds dumb.
