18 year old mom
I'm only 18, but I am beyond dying to have a baby, and have been for a while. My hips are size zero, and I know that's where you hold the baby..I'm also only 95 pounds, but I'm a very healthy eater. If I had a baby, though I know there are serious complications involved, what are the possible outcomes of my baby? Would I be able to deliver it naturally?
Wow! Well, thanks a lot heatherlynn. I'm not exactly your size, but still, that definitely comforting.
when i got pregnant with my twins i was a size 5 and weighed 120-125 lbs and i had 2 perfectly healthy little boys. one was 5 lbs 3 oz and the other was 5 lbs 15 oz. which from what my ob said was very good weight for 6 week early twins.
Oh my gosh! That's amazing =D .... I hope I would be able to have a healthy baby, while keeping healthy myself. I feel so happy right now! Thanks for letting me know this, it really puts a safety net under my idea. I still am scared though! And wow, I guess I'm a splitting image of your body!
my m8 was a size 6 and fell pregnant at 15/16 but because she was way 2 skinny she lost the baby at 3 months and docs sed unless she put on weight she wud never be able 2 carry a baby to full term
hey, Imm from autralia so u will have to convert measurements lol but im only 5ft 2 and only a size 10 or 55-60kgs and i had 2 10 pound babies naturally with no pain meds!!!
us women can do anything!!!!!! dont worry xx ps u may notice that by the time your 20 or so that your hip have widened a bit tho, saying that i was 19 when i had my first

opps I'm 5'5 not 5'3. But anyways the point I'm trying to make is plenty of small people have children and it causes no problems.
I'm 5'3, wear a size 0 and am 95 pounds and I have had no trouble having a baby or loosing the weight afterwords. My sister is 5'0 89 pounds and a 00 and has had two children.
Don't worry about that because your pelvis actually tilts and moves when pregnant (that's why pregnant women sometimes walk weird, not to mention the extra weight of a baby and a bulging belly). Also, small women have been known to have enormous babies without a hitch, whereas bigger women have difficult times with small babies. You just never know what will happen!
Your hips spread when you get pregnant to accommodate the baby. Small women have babies all the time, your size does not automatically determine that you will have complications.
