Does maternal height affect triplets' birth weight?

Abstract

The taller patient (>165 cm) may be at a significantly lower risk of very low birth weight neonates and very premature delivery as compared to the shorter patient (< 165 cm). Therefore, the factor of maternal height may be taken into consideration in multiple gestation pregnancy consultations. Smaller mothers should never receive more than two embryos in IVF programs to reduce the risk of triplets almost completely.
