Pregnancy and height
Posted: 11-28-06 11:07am

I'm 22 yers old girl. My problem is that i'm afraid whether i'll be able to conceive or not.

The reason for my worry is that i'm very short (less than 5 feets). Is my height a hurdle in pregnency?

I'm very upset to think about it. Plz help me out.

No, I don't think you have anything to worry about there.

I even have 2 sisters...one is 4'10, the other, 4'11, and they each have 3 children. Dwarves and midgets (who aren't just storybook characters are able to have children too. The only thing your height might affect is the height of your children, but then again, you never know about that either: you could have tall children too Smile

You have nothing to worry about. I'm 5,2 and pregnant with my second.

Like mominashoe said, there's 4' people having baby's, mostly with no complications. There was even a woman with no legs that has a baby. It's amazing how many woman can conceive. There are a few woman here that were told they would never conceive, and one is on her second baby!

Nope --- the health of ovulation and the ovaries is a more important determining factor when trying to conceive than height. I don't think you need to worry.
