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.
