Marrying a tall man as a short woman doesn't always produce tall children.

In OP's case, anecdotal information isn't useless, statistical analysis would help so makes sense to nudge her towards a helpful resource.

If you are concerned about child's short stature, consult a child endocrinologist about clinical justification of using growth hormones.
It's not really a concern, just curious if other kids that have shorter parents stuck to their curves.
Some do and others don't, instead of looking for random anecdotes, ask your pediatrician for accurate statistics.
I am pretty sure this is a sub to ask other moms questions and share experiences. You do not have to comment.

If parents are short, there is always a chance of children or grandchildren being short.

Are you and the father also shorter?

My son was expected to be 5 ft 4. I hoped he would eek out a few more inches. He surprised us! He’s 5 ft 11. His younger brother who was always a higher percentile is actually a few inches shorter. I don’t think prediction tools are that reliable.
With the 5'4 prediction was that based off of your heights or his height growing up?
