how tall are you?

Torri106

Morning-

I was just wondering how tall everyone is and when did you deliver? Im only 5'1" so im nervous i wont have alot of room for these babes! Im a postpartum nurse and have seen many my height do just fine, but it still concerns me!

I am 5'0 and went on bedrest at 24w -- I don't think my size was a guarantee that was going to happen though.  I am still holding out that I will make it to 36 weeks with a little patience on my part.

I am 5'9" and made it to 36w and 3d.  I was put on bed rest at 30 weeks.

MrsB*7*21

I am 5'8".  At my appointment last week, I was 25w4d and I measured 31w.  So far no bed rest or other modifications...praying this continues!

robinsokj

4'11"

IAM4UK

5'3". I made it to my scheduled c-section at 37 weeks. I was put on best red at 28 weeks.

You can do it!

I'm 5'.  My babies were delivered at 33w1d due to pre-e.  I could have made it longer otherwise, I think.  Before my BP spiked and I was spilling protien, I still felt pretty good.

i am 5'8" and went to 38w1d with no issues... but with my singleton pg i had PTL at 32w an ended up being induced at 36w b/c of BP issues and kidney stones --- so nothing is for sure

I'm 5'6" and had a c at 37w 1d due to pre-e. Good luck!

Just under 6 ft. Went to 37 weeks 4 days.

I am almost 5'4" and very petite (size 0 pre-babies.)  I carried triplets to 35 weeks and 6 days.  I wasn't on bedrest - I was told to take it easy and at the end, I was told the only exciting activity of my week should be my MFM appt.  I really couldn't do anything but lounge around on the couch anyway. 

My midsection measured 4 feet around the night before my c-section.  My MFM told me that my size wouldn't matter and it didn't. 

lisa&andy

5'2" and made it to 35w2d (pre-e cause the delivery), I was on pelvic rest the whole pregnancy but never bedrest.

My co-worker had twins (4 years ago).  She's around 5'11 or 6ft exactly, and I know for a fact that she delivered at 30w and a couple days.  I think she was put on bed rest at 28-29 weeks. I think she was starting to get pre-e, and her water broke at 30w.  I know all of this because I've asked her about a million questions about being pregnant with twins.

 

So you see...don't worry.  I've actually been thinking about that too, since I'm only 5"3.

Babsie7

I'm 5'4 and carried triplets to 36 weeks. I was also concerned about my size, but I was told by my peri that size doesn't make much of a difference.

tSquared1987

I am 5'4" and delivered at 30 weeks. It had nothing to do with my height though.

saverchic

I'm 6'0" and delivered at 39 weeks. ?I was in labor for 29 hours and then had a c-section.

mrsmac08

I'm 5'2 and no bed rest yet at 30 weeks. I don't think my height has really impacted my pregnancy much.

Haven1

I'm 5'8" and made it to 34w5d.  While my height didn't have anything to do with my early delivery date, the babies did have a little more room to spread out.  You'll do great!

jenn_darrin1515

I'm 5'8" and had a c-section after a failed induction at 36 weeks 2 days (b/c of pre-e)

MrsLnt

I'm 5'3 and made it to my scheduled c-section at 37w 1d with zero signs of labor.  My boss at my last job went 40 weeks with her girls and she is about 5'3 and probably a size 2. 

My MFM said size has nothing to do with how long one carries multiples.  

kaiteedidit

I'm 5'3" , I delivered at 38 weeks.

mandi leigh

4'11''... with a practically nonexistent torso! LOL

 

I'm pretty nervous, as I was massive with DD.

McKenna04

5'4 and was induced at 38w5d

regenab

I am 5'2". I made it to 36w3d with no bedrest. The day before my water broke I had my last OB appt. and they measured me at 48 weeks pregnant, LOL. I think the reason I never had to go on bedrest was because I worked from home, self employed. If I was having a bad day and uncomfortable, I would just email work and tell them I was taking a 2 hour lunch, so I could put my feet up and rest. I did take a class for a certification from weeks 32-34 that was 2 nights a week and the last week was really hard, I had to walk like a quarter mile from the parking lot to class and I would contract a lot from the walking. I was going to try to take another class starting at 34 weeks, but my DH said no. He wanted me to rest and he was right, the day after that class ended I hit a wall. I really could do nothing from 34 weeks on, I was just way too uncomfortable.

It is doable at 5'1", you will just need to rest and relax a lot in the last trimester.

leslie13510

I'm 5'8" and had a hell of a pregnancy.  Lots and lots of bedrest, weeks of bleeding, incompetent cervix, a few hospital stays, the staff in L&D all knew me by first name, weeks and weeks of preterm labor... my height made no difference for me. 

babya2010

I am 5'7" and delivered at 37 weeks due to mild pre-e. Had I not developed the pre-e, I would have easily gone another 2 weeks. No bedrest either.

Torri106

thanks guys! you've made me feel so much better!!

kimarino13

5'11".  Delivered at 36w2d but had no signs of labor.  They probably would have stayed in longer if we didn't evict them. 

natb22

I'm 5'3" and so far so good at 26 weeks!

nolachick11

5'8"   Delivered at 33wks6dys due to pre-e/hellp  I had an awesome pregnancy till about a week before I delivered

nikinikinine

I'm 5'3" I had a completely healthy pregnancy and delivered by induction at 38w,2d I probably could have gone another week easily.

JosiePosy

I'm 5'2". Modified bedrest at 28 weeks. Hospital bedrest at about 29 weeks. Delivered at 29w6d. I have mo/di twins and had complications from HELLP Syndrome.

Purple_Butterflies

I'm 5'10" , I delivered at 38 weeks and 3 days. I also had a completly healthy pregnancy and could have probably gone to longer but at my appt my peri saw that baby b turned head down so she wanted me to go to the hospital to be induced to try and have them vaginally (like I wanted to) but once I got there he turned again so I ended up having a c-section 3 days before the scheduled date.

MamaCrystal

5'10" - delivered at 37w6d (induction).

TheNewFry

I'm 6'0" - delivered at 37w, 6d (induction)

jenn&chris2

I'm 5'11" & was induced at 37w.

caden

I'm 5'11", delivered at 35w1d and was on bedrest for 15w with bouts of PTL. So height did me no favors

benkari

I am 5'3" and carried quads to 32 weeks without complications.

jamie217

5'7" and I went to my c-section date of 38wk2d.  My BFF has twins 3 months older then mine and she's 5'11" and she had hers at 36 wks, so I although you may be more uncomfortable, I don't think it necessarily means you have to worry about PTL

SLM05

5'0"  Carried triplets, was put on bedrest at 21 weeks due to shorting cervix.  But boys were delivered at 31 w and 4 days.   You can do it!

shegak

I'm 5' 7" and delivered my first set of twins at 33w.  I had a picture-perfect, almost boring twin PG we discovered I was dilated and contracting regularly.  It happened very fast.   

With this twin PG, I'm just over 28w and doing great so far.  We'll see!
