Question
My grandmother had a fall when she was young, and because the family couldn’t afford treatment, she developed acquired dwarfism. My husband is 170 cm tall, and I am 162 cm tall. I want to know if my baby will inherit the genetic traits if I get pregnant?
Answer
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. Additionally, during the treatment period for patients with dwarfism, their diet and care are also very important. Patients must pay attention to rest and can engage in moderate activities to avoid unnecessary injuries. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
