[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If short women are so concerned about their child's height why didn't they marry taller?  What did you think was going to happen marrying a short man?[/quote]

New poster here.  F@ck off, PP.  I am average height and my spouse is 6’3” but our dd hit puberty early and her predicted height was not even 5’2”.  We ended up going to a pediatric endocrinologist overseas after two opinions from specialists in the dmv.  The first one at children’s in dc was horrible in terms of apathy.  The second one was better as the full medical history identified need to test child for certain auto immune conditions and it identified she had celiac.  This could definitely contribute to shorter stature as it caused temporary alopecia which was significant but hidden under her long hair (thankfully) and reversed after removing all gluten from her diet.  We have been able to get her treated with American medication at a fraction of the cost and our pediatrician here supported us going that route.  She’s grown about 1.5 inches past her predicted height and fortunately her growth plates have not closed completely although it’s been past two years since she started menstruating.  They run full bloodwork as well every time.[/quote]
