Acquired Dwarfism: Will the Baby Inherit the Genetic Traits?

Considering your situation, general dwarfism does not transmit across generations if both parents are normal. Don’t worry. It’s recommended to take good rest during the pre-pregnancy period, avoid overtime work, eat nutritious foods such as eggs, dairy, and lean meat, and take oral folic acid.
