Reply: Female's height usually does not have anything to do with the capacity of her uterus to carry a baby. She should be able to carry the baby fine if the anatomy of uterus is normal. One possible factor to keep in mind while delivering the baby vaginally will be the chances of disproportionality between the size of baby's head and your pelvic bone outlet, but don't worry about it, too early.

Probably: Every pregnancy has some risk of unexpected outcome (4%).There may be variables about your size and other features that place you at higher chance of surgical delivery. Yet many smaller women have carried babies to term and there is no general reason to think you would not.When the time comes, discuss your own personal health and features with an OB and see what s/he feels are your personal risks.
