You can do it Dee just remember all the positivity you had before that stupid mw scared you. Don't let what your mum said get to you too much, as someone else said, it is your body and you baby and birth, not hers. Good luck hun can't wait to read your birth announcement.
You can totally do this!! I'm 5 ft 1 and had a 3.9kg baby, no drugs, NVD. Don't listen to your mum, surround yourself with supportive people and focus on you and your baby, your body is perfectly designed to birth your baby. Good news about the mucous plug, sounds like things are moving along!
Do I know anyone? Sure do! My sisters best friend is 5ft nothing. Her first baby was to my brothers best friend who was 6ft something. He used to have to duck in our living room to avoid the fan. When she was pregnant the poor honey looked like an olive on a toothpick.
But it turned out her DS was all arms and legs. He was a tall baby and she delivered him all natural. All 11 pounds.
Hopefully by now you have a wonderful little baby in your arms and all the negatives have been washed away. It is so much easier for them to get at you when you are pregnant, and I know from experience you resent them for taking advantage of that. Just keep doing your own thing and try not to think on it too much.
