Most little people (people with dwarfism) have arms and legs shorter than the average persons while thier torso is the same size as an average person..... Since the baby is carried in the abdomen (torso) they have just as much room as average person for carrying a child...
Since the size of the area for carrying a average sized baby (6-9 lbs) is available they have no difficulty carrying... There are sometimes complications in vaginal delivery however due to the shape of thier hips.. C-section is often the only safe means of delivery... When a womans hips are misshapped (not shaped normally) it can mean that the opening in the pelvic bones is also misshapped making it difficult and even impossible for a baby to pass through... Scoliosis is also very common in people with dwarfism which can lead to other complications making a vaginal delivery less likely...
Johns Hopkin is doing a study on Obstetrical Anesthesia In Women With Dwarfism

i do no longer think of top makes that lots distinction. i'm in elementary terms 5' tall, and my babies have been all between 7.5-8 lbs. I had some heartburn and exhaustion, and that i felt heavy and uncomfortable in some situations, yet so did anybody else i be attentive to. surely, i myself did no longer sense that undesirable. Like some others suggested, the biggest element, i think of, is your person well being. i replaced into obese for all of my pregnancies, yet I stayed lively via walking, doing prenatal water aerobics, swimming, etc. (Being interior the water enables a ton in the direction of the tip of being pregnant on account which you get to sense weightless for a mutually as.) i think of that made a distinction in how I felt, and in my final being pregnant (once I worked out the main), my hard artwork and transport replaced into much less complicated. needless to say, there are situations the place a small woman could sense an unusual quantity of soreness from donning a bigger-than-wide-spread infant, yet i does not assume that on account which you're short, that could be the case for you.

Apart from their arms and legs the bodies are the same size so they are able to carry a normal sized baby.

They are just all baby, and they havent got alot of fat, like us normal people. So they only gain what is called all baby weight, and usually are back down to their sizes like within a week or sooner of delivery. Lucky....
