5'4'' here huehuehuhe

Short women are adorable tho

I'm sure you'll make a fantastic wife/mother/whatever you want to be...

6'2 here.

but in the hypothetical scenario that we had a kid, it'd probably kill you.

Jus saying.

i'd be at chest level or something @Fireball Bastard

My mom was 5'8, and had a difficult pregnancy.

it's called a c-section

Women's size has nothing really to do with how difficult a pregnancy is.

Are those really that safe? I was under the impression those were popular because they were painless.

Really?

No

C-Sections are basically cutting open the belly

Without sedatives

I know.

Most babies are born between 5 - 10 pounds.

Wait... without? o.o

Yeah

Without

>without

No, they use sedatives.

that's retarded

Well, they give circumcisions without them.

At least that's what I was told by a couple of baby boomers

Poor kids.

It's a thing they apply to the belly, like a yellow sorta solution, it's going to numb everything.

Oh

Yeah, but it nulls the pain, right?

Not sure what it's called, but I took human growth and development, so I know about it.

Yeah.

If so, it's technically a sedative, I think.

It's a sedative you apply to the surface of the skin.

I wouldn't know

tho i've heard we really shouldn't be having c-sections, because evolutionarily speaking, the birth canal will become smaller due to babies not wedging their heads through them

Well -- Sorta...

That sounds like a good idea not to have them

Vaginal births are a good thing because it sorta squeezes all of the fluid out of the babies lungs.

Yeah, but that wouldn't really affect you on a genetic level whether or not you had a c-section.

yea

Plus, the baby's head collapses to get through the vagina so everything is set up for vaginal birth.
