Does Short Height of A Woman Affect Her Pregnancy?
There are chances for a short woman to face pregnancy complications. However, it doesn’t mean that every woman with short height cannot have a normal delivery. There are other factors apart from genetics such as nutrition, habits, and lifestyle which affects one’s pregnancy.
What is Considered as Short Height?
Well, there’s not a certain specific height which is associated with normal delivery. Usually, a height below 5 ft is considered short for women. At the same time, it does not infer that women below 5 ft are not capable of giving birth to a full-term baby.
How Does Short Stature Affect Pregnancy?
In some cases, short height of a woman does create some complications when pregnant. Below are some of the complications of short stature in pregnancy:
1. Premature birth
Prematurity is the foremost complication on the list among other pregnancy complications. Usually, a baby born before 37 weeks is considered premature. And such babies, are on the risk of having respiratory or digestive issues. According to a study, the short stature of a woman may influence the duration of a baby in her womb, which may result in preterm birth.
2. Lack of required oxygen to the foetus
At times, prolonged labour may create an uncomfortable atmosphere for the foetus inside one’s womb. In some rare case, it might hinder the supply of the required amount of oxygen for its survival.
3. Excessive bleeding
Excessive bleeding is another complication one may have to face at the time of delivery. During a vaginal birth, short women have to apply more force to push out the baby, as the baby has less room to come out, this may result in damage to the vaginal tissue, and it may lead to excessive bleeding.
4. Episiotomy
Episiotomy is the process of making a small cut between the vagina and anus of a woman to aid in the delivery of the head of the baby out. Usually, the cut made will heal with time; however, since the cut in short women is much deeper, healing time is longer.
5. Low Birth Weight and Height of Baby
Since there is not enough space for the baby to develop fully due to short uterus and pelvis, it may result in low birth weight and height of the baby.
6. Obstetric Fistula
Obstetric fistula refers to a hole that forms between the vagina and the urinary tract or rectum. The layer between the vagina and rectum gives way to create a passage for the baby to come out. However, if the birth canal is small for the baby to come out, if the labour push is carried for a prolonged time, it may result in damage to the tissue of the birth canal. Hence, the odds of developing obstetric fistula in shorter women is higher.
7. Cephalopelvic Disproportion
Cephalopelvic disproportion is a condition wherein the head of is too large to fit through the pelvis of the mother for a normal vaginal delivery. Such cases are higher in shorter women as their pelvis is smaller than the other women. It may result in damage to the pelvis tissue if the labour pushing is prolonged. According to a study, maternal height and pregnancy complications are closely related in some women.
What Can Be Done to Reduce the Possibilities of Complications?
Since the height is related to genes, there is little one can do about it. Moreover, not every woman with short height goes through pregnancy complication associated with maternal heights. However, there are factors such as lack of nutrition during one’s childhood, which may shorten the maternal height. So, it is important for mothers to provide proper nutrition to their children.
During pregnancy, it is recommended to focus on other factors such as proper intake of nutrition, balanced weight, adequate exercise to ensure a normal delivery. A gap of 18-23 months between pregnancies is also recommended to ensure a smooth delivery. This time frame ensures that a woman’s body replenishes essential nutrition lost during the previous delivery, and is ready to nurture the next baby properly.
FAQs
1. Do Shorter Women Face more Complications at the Time of Delivery?
Even though it does not hold for all petite woman but in some cases, shorter women may face more pregnancy complications than other.
2. Is It Possible for a Baby Born to a Short Woman to Grow with Short Height?
Due to the lack of space for the foetus to grow properly in a short uterus, there is a possibility for such babies to have a short height in their later years. However, it does not hold true for everyone. There are cases where a child born to a petite woman grows taller than her parents.
3. Can a Short Woman give Birth Naturally?
Not all short women are subject to non-conventional or unnatural delivery. Hence, there are possibilities for short women to give birth naturally. However, they are more susceptible to face more pregnancy complications while giving birth than others.
Short height is not the only factor which affects the pregnancy. Hence, it is recommended that you consult with your doctor and focus on other complications which may be prevented through proper care to ensure a smooth delivery.

5 Most Common Pronunciation Errors That Many Preschoolers Make
Do you find your preschooler calling ‘rabbit’ as ‘wabbit’? Are you wondering why most of the words your toddler utters sound different than usual? It's time to put those worries to rest. Your preschooler might be making some common pronunciation errors and it’s just a matter of time before he stops doing so!
Pronunciation is a complex process comprising absolute planning, good coordination, and effective movements of various articulators, such as lips, tongue, cheeks, jaws, and the voice box. Your preschooler may make pronunciation errors if he lacks correct, matured articulation. Fortunately, there is nothing to worry about it as your toddler will outgrow various pronunciation errors in course of time. If you are planning to learn more about common pronunciation errors that your preschooler makes, struggle no more. We've listed some of the common pronunciation errors that most toddlers make:
1. Developmental Errors
Your toddler may make pronunciation errors that most toddlers of the same age make. Even though there are speech and sound errors, it is not a concern since these pronunciation errors are regarded as ‘developmentally appropriate’.
2. Mispronouncing Words
Most preschoolers in the age group of one and three years tend to mispronounce simple words. For instance, you may find your preschooler calling ‘aminal’ instead of ‘animal’.
3. The Use Of Inappropriate Letter Sounds
Preschoolers between the age group of two and three years tend to substitute ‘d’ for ‘t’ and ‘w’ instead of ‘r’. For instance, your toddler may say ‘dat’ instead of ‘that’ and ‘wabbit’ for ‘rabbit’. This occurs due to the use of incorrect letter sounds. Your little one may use the sound of ‘t’ for any other sound that he finds difficult to pronounce.
4. Articulation Errors
The movement of mouth to spell words and make sounds is known as articulation. Articulation errors are some of the most common among preschoolers. The toddler is just learning to pronounce words so he may find it difficult at first to manipulate his mouth accurately and that causes articulation errors. For instance, your preschooler may call ‘thun’ instead of ‘sun’. There are different types of articulation errors, which include:
Additions :
Your preschooler includes an extra sound when pronouncing a particular word and makes addition error. For instance, he says ‘doguh’ when he wants to say ‘dog’.
Substitutions :
When your toddler replaces one sound with another, he makes substitution error. For instance, your little one says ‘thoap’ when he wants to say ‘soap’.
Deletions :
Deletions are also popular as omissions. When your toddler omits a sound in a word then it’s a deletion or omission error and it makes speech difficult for you to understand. For instance, your preschooler says ‘pay’ when he intends to say ‘play’.
Distortions :
When your preschooler distorts a sound in an unfamiliar way, it’s a distortion error. It occurs when his oral motor skills are not well-developed. For instance, your kid calls, ‘thoup’ when he intends to call ‘soup’.
5. Phonological Process Errors
Phonological process errors involve patterns of sound errors when your preschooler lacks in regulating their mouth for organized tongue movements to pronounce a word. Two prominent phonological errors include fronting and backing.
Fronting :
Fronting is also popular as velar fronting. When your toddler substitutes a consonant which needs to be pronounced in the rear part of the mouth with a consonant which is spelled in the front of his mouth, it’s a fronting error. For instance, your kid substitutes ‘c’ for ‘t’ saying ‘cub’ when he intends to say ‘tub.
Backing :
Backing is exactly opposite of fronting. When your preschooler makes sounds in rear part of his mouth instead of the front of his mouth, he makes backing error. For instance, your toddler calls ‘g’ instead for ‘b’ calling ‘gumblegee’ when he wants to call ‘bumblebee’.

A. from your history it appears that your child is having colic pain due to gas in abdomen
in colic pain you can give anti colic medicines like colicaid 0.5 ml to the child and this medicine can be given maximum three or four times per day but to prevent this problem kindly do regular burping for 15 to 20 minutes.d
do not kee ep the child back on the bed after one burping (all gas is not removed with one burping)
during the cdolic episode you can do stomach massage and limb cycling movements and if the child is more than 2 months of age you can give tummy time also.
advisable to learn more about it from your doctor.

Dr Vandan H Kumar

A. the sleeping pattern of the child changes from time to time and will improve with increasing age of the child. if the growth and weight gain of the child is proper along with proper urine stool then there is no need to worry regarding the sleeping pattern.
you have to just see that the child is not having any disturbance during the sleep because it can occur due to gas as well as due to digestion problem. aldso see for the comfort of the child and see the bedding on which the child is sleeping.
try to prevent temperature variations around the child that is from hot to cold and cold to hot weather because that also can cause disturbance in the sleep. d
