Hello,
I have gone through your query and here are your answers: 1. If you live in India, at no point of time during the pregnancy should a doctor let you know the gender of the baby as this is prohibited and punishable. 2. If your wife is healthy for her height, she will be able to carry a healthy baby without any issues. The short stature may be passed on to the baby and this is a fact to be kept in mind while assessing the fetal well-being and fetal parameters. If she is ill-nourished, improvement in the general condition with proper medication, diet, rest and nutritional supplements is mandatory. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
