A member asked:
Is a taller mother (greater than 165 cm) much less likely than the average to observe the risks associated with triplets? e.g. i have found several studies on pubmed like these below but no evidence to the contrary, and don't know what exactly to conclude

No: Triplet pregnancies are inherently risky for any woman. The likelihood of premature delivery is virtually certain. The risk of preeclampsia is elevated as well. The vast majority of triplets are delivered by cesarean regardless of the stature of the woman.
