[quote=Anonymous]You are not a terrible person for feeling this way, OP. I struggled with the same thing with my oldest. I had IUGR and delivered at 34 weeks. He only weighed 4 pounds. But, he was completely healthy in every way. My pediatrician tracked his growth and told me he would never fully catch up and that he would likely be very short. I couldn't help but feel sad. It's normal. Now that my kids are grown, I can see how insignificant height is. It really wouldn't have mattered if he had been 5'5. He would still have been a happy, healthy, athletic, successful kid. He completely defied everything we were told. He was short until middle school. He is 31 now. And 6'3.[/quote]
