I've been 5'even since I turned 15. Monday was my 18 'th birthday and my mom measured me as is tradition in my familyand I was a little below my 14th birthday mark of 4'9". Last fall when I went to the doctors I measured only 4'11" but didn't think anything of it I figured they measured wrong. I wondered why my jeans were getting too long & I have to roll them up now. I went to the doctor this morning and they measured me at 4'9" too. My records from the last 6 visits say 5' except for the last one that was 4'11". The doctor had no explantion; She said that it might be that I didn't grow taller as I filled out. Every one has been saying I looked shorter I thought they grew. The only good thing is I'm only 94lbs now. Has this happened to anyone else ?
 Thanks a slightly shorter kelly! |

Well, one cause of shrinking can be bone deterioration (this is what causes older people to get smaller as they age). But as long as you have proper nutrition, that shouldn't be a problem.
Your best answers will probably come from your doctor, though. If it's a real concern of yours, talk to her. |
