Does a mother's height have anything to do with a natural birth?

Patient's question:

I am 17 years old, a male. My father is 162cm tall, and my mother is 152cm tall. According to the formula, my height should be 169cm, but my current height is 172cm. However, I feel that it is still 8cm short of my ideal height. I want to know if there is a relationship between giving birth naturally and height?

Doctor's answer:

If your height is 1.5 meters, if the fetal position is good, this can be a normal delivery. This is not greatly affected by height. The key is the relationship between the fetus and the mother, which is the gold standard for whether a normal delivery is possible. Currently, you should pay attention to walking appropriately, maintaining a light diet, and monitoring fetal movements. If there are abnormal fetal movements, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, or leakage of fluid, you should seek medical attention promptly. During your daily work and life, avoid excessive staying up late or overexertion, and pay attention to rest, balancing work and rest.
