Put simply, no.
I’m tall and big, and had too small of a pelvis for the baby to drop; then during labour he went into distress and I had to have a c-section. Who knew that under all this fluffy womanliness there was a small pelvis? I sure didn’t.
So don’t worry, and neither should she. Plenty of small women have borne children from brawny men over thousands of years!

Not usually. A female’s hips are designed to flex around the baby however the doctor will let you know ahead of time if the baby is too big to birth naturally. Good luck!

Oh my…No it doesn’t mean that she will need a C section. I was a size 5, my husband is 6 foot 4 inches 285 lbs. and I gave birth to a an 8 pound 9 ounce baby boy completely naturally. A woman’s body is desgined to give birth. You would be surprised. The Dr will be able to answer that question better closer to the end of her pregnancy.

Not necessarily. I think it depends more on the size and position of the baby at the time of birth, which may or may not correlate with your current size. I know big babies who turned into average size people and tiny babies who turned into very large people.

not necessarily. very large babies-like 10 lbs. avg.-
run on my uncle’s side of the family and my aunt
is a very small woman. both of my cousins were
NOT small babies and i do believe she delivered
vaginally.

maybe not.they will be able to tell more as the pregnancy progresses.if at any time the during labor the doctor feels there is a danger of the baby getting stuck he will reccomend emergency c section.which ever way your child comes into the world as long as mom and baby are healthy and safe it is the best way.congrats!!

I did because of my son’s broad shoulders (inherited from dad), but that’s not always the case. She should speak with her doc about this.

Not necessarily, a small frame does not mean that her body can not deliver a large baby. A woman’s body is programmed to give birth.

That thought certainly applies to breeds of dogs…

However, I’ve never really heard of it being a factor in humans. I’m an even smaller size than your wife, and my husband is taller than you with extremely broad shoulders. My doctor mentioned nothing about this affecting me having a natural birth…
