[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question.  Will doctors give this kids who don't have any growth hormone deficiency and are just short, as in falling where it would be expected based on parents (which can be plus or minus)?

If you are average (5-4) and your husband says he's 5-8 and possibly is not quite 5-8 (no offense, but just typical), a son who is 5-4 is on the shorter side of what would be expected for your heights but still perfectly normal.   Particularly if you look at extended family.  Is your husband the tallest male in his family?  It's more than just your heights.

I would think long and hard about giving my kid those shots.[/quote]

My doctor said we should think about postponing my (short) 12 year old’s period so she has more time to grow. I declined. Shes 5’1”[/quote]

What was her height when she got her period? My 15 year old is done growing, I’m pretty sure. She’s 5’1” as well. Just curious how short your daughter was when the doctor said this.  [/quote]
