Is it possible for my baby to get stuck?

Yes: Yes sometimes the baby's head will not descend through the pelvis or the cervix will not dilate because the baby is too big or coming down the birth canal at an odd angle. In these cases a c-section would be performed.

Yes: Your obstetrician will have a good idea based on your size and the baby's size as to wether this will occur. They are also prepared to intervene if the child cannot fit down the birth canal. Talk to your doctor about your concerns and discuss the options.
