Petite means harder to push baby?

If i am petite and small, with quite a big tummy(baby still within normal weight) Will that means i will have a harder and longer time pushing baby out and higher chance getting bigger tear/episiotomy ? Or it doest have anything to do with small body. #FTM

Well it depends on how huge your baby/baby bump is. I am standing at 153cm and both my kids are 3kg above. I had little tearing for both but in terms of pushing no issues. Except for my first because her head's big therefore need vacuum assisted delivery. Everything else was okay.

Not true.. I’m a petite mom too. Trick i to only push when you feel the contraction so you don’t waste your energy pushing unnecessarily. My baby was 3.6kg. No tear.
