A member asked:
Can a physically (muscles) weak person safely have a baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: In general, physical weakness will not prevent a baby from developing normally, nor should it prevent a safe vaginal delivery. Women with muscular disorders such as muscular dystrophy or multiple sclerosis are able to carry pregnancies without complication, in most cases.
