I would have thought the best person to advise you would be your doctor, if you are unhappy with their advise ask another one.

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it.
I am about 5'2" and weigh less than 100 lbs when not PG.
I have had three unmedicated and uncomplicated births.
My biggest baby was 8 lbs even.
Size estimation by u/s is just that....an estimation....a guess. It is often wrong by as much as a pound.
How short you are really has nothing to do with the size of your pelvis.
There is no way to predict before you are in labor what your body can do.
There are hormones released at the start of labor that loosen up your pelvis to make more room for baby to move out. Baby's head will mould to fit through your pelvis.
Having freedom of movement in labor and being able to choose your pushing position can help as well. Squatting opens your pelvis up around 25% wider than any other position.

Your concerns should be directed to your doctor. They know about your baby and your sizes and will know how to go about delivery. If they haven't brought up elective cesarean then they must not have concerns at this point. But that doesn't mean that when things start happening that a cesarean becomes necessary. The biggest issue is the size of your pelvis and the circumference of bubs head.

It depends. Docs usually wait until labor to see how well you dilate and your bones spread. Height is not always an indicator. Some short women who are very tiny and have huge babies have no problem. Again, labor will tell. Also...if it ends up being a c-section, don't fret. I had three. They were a breeze! Take care and congrats and best wishes for a healthy happy delivery.

Better ask your doctor. I don't think height has too much to do with it. Don't listen to others unless they are doctors. People give advice all the time when you are pregnant whether you want it or not. Have you seen your doctor? In my last weeks of pregnancy I was going twice a week. Good luck! I hope you have a healthy baby!

Height is not the vip thing , the pelvic floor is. I'm also tiny framed woman under 120 pounds, my sons all weighed at least 8 1/2 pounds one was 10 pounds no problems. Two my boys were born 2 weeks post date.

you would be able to desire to remember each and all the transformations your physique went by using for the time of being pregnant and childbirth and this is probably not something to agonize approximately. an analogous subject got here approximately to me once I gave beginning, my midwife instructed me it became a common area of the cleansing technique - i became superb and it by no potential got here approximately lower back. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, i'd advise which you talk on your wellness care professional if for no longer something greater desirable than to place your ideas comfy with the aid of fact i'm no longer a qualified occasion to be telling you that that's ok - we are all distinctive. i does no longer subject approximately it yet i'd call my GP. Congrats on the toddler and stable success.

Far too often caesarean sections are used in cases like yours. Don't let anyone tell you that your body 'can't' deliver the baby. The female body is an amazing thing, designed to give birth to children. My mother is 4'11". She gave birth to me at 7lbs 10ozs, and my brother 5 years later at 8lbs 3ozs. Does that answer your question?

This would not be the type of question to ask on yahoo answers. This is a thing to ask a doctor, they do not study medicine for about 8 years for nothing
