I suggest you take second opinion. But I have never heard of such a thing. My best friend is short 4 feet 11inches but she had a normal delivery. All I have read is about the fact that studies suggest Ghat short women have a higher risk of preterm birth. I suggest take a second opinion and see what ghe other doctor says. If a woman has no other problem or complication I do not think a short women cannot have a normal delivery.

this morning I consulted another doc and she said in short height we prefer surgery coz of risk in 99% cases

Hey I have also short height ... I am only of 5.2 height ... Had normal delivery without any problem ... Don't believe on such things ... Consult any other doctor
