she was told because she is so small she would need as having the baby would tear her in half? She was told of a story sbout another firend who birthed naturally and was tiny and all her insides fell out???? Can someone tell me how that happens and why?
it's stories like these that 'small' women get told, and it scares them into wanting to have C.sections!! (sometimes).....

I believe the majority of cases, many smaller women can birth their babies naturally even if they are huge babies like 11 or 12pds or so!!! There are so many stories out there where small women have done this their body is designed to carry their particular baby.
Obviously though in saying this, there are cases where some smaller women or women in general, no matter whether you are a size 6 or a size 16, have trouble birthing their baby naturally, well should I say vaginally... due to medical reasons, exhaustion from long labour etc etc.... hence why c/sections are definitely needed in certain situations and can be very life saving!! We are so lucky c.sections are around however they are definitely over -used these days and that's a shame.

Hopefully Kelly see's this as she'll no doubt attach a link to a website that shows images and info about small women, i mean tiny women who birthed HUGE babies like 12pds or more.... it's really interesting!!!! It's on BB somewhere here....
