Do taller women have easier pregnancies?

| Since the weight spreads out more? Or is that bullshit? |

| "Easier" is a relative term. Each woman has her own experience, and each pregnancy is different. There are a myriad of symptoms/responses/changes that can cause discomfort. |

| I don't know about easier, but I know most have longer torsos so they don't look as fat as I do. Short torsos suck. |

| I'm medium-tall (5'8"), and I've carried really well. But I also feel like I've been kicked in the crotch the past 4 months, so there's that. |

| I think they're less likely to have issues with shortness of breath. |

| I'm also 5'8'' and did not have easy pregnancies. I had all kinds of pelvic and hip pain, to the point where I could barely walk. I also wasn't particularly "cute" pregnant - I just felt huge. |

| 5 11 here, mine was pretty easy. Terrible delivery though. |

5'8" pp here, and yes to both the pelvic and hip pain. Couldn't walk for two weeks. Regular chiropractic and massage finally gave me some relief. |

To answer the OP who is curious. What is the point of your question? |

Another 5'8 PP, with a long torso: it definitely helped the first time around (I think) in terms of not showing crazy early. I never had heartburn, either. But I did have HG, so there was that.

| OP, you ask about "easier" but seem focused on wieght. The two aren't necessarily related. I'm short 5 ' 2 and had a really easy first pregnancy. |

| No. I had a migraine every since day I was pregnant except two. I remember exactly which two days. Carrying isn't everything. |
