SHORTER AFTER PREGNANCY!?

[janesxx]

so DS is 1 now, ive always been short at 5ft since being 13 but I was measured at the doctors today and im now 4ft 11!? im 20 so not exactly normal to be shrinking now, then I remembered how since being pregnant my spine and back is alot more bent in at the bottom from the pressure of carrying the baby ect, its still like that a year on and was wondering because my backs bent in now could that be what's made me shorter? and has anyone else had experience with this? (back bent/posture/shorter after pregnancy)?

oh god I hope not, like you I'm short at 5 ft 1 1/2. I don't want to shrink!

I know its annoying.. bet the tall ones dont shrink!

I wonder if ive shrunk some more then hehe mum has a measurement guide on breakfast room wall, when i was 21, i was half an inch smaller than when i was 17! -.- and it showed as i used to be 163cm now 161.

Could also be collapsed arches in your feet. The weight of pregnancy takes its toll on the feet, and that's why a lot of women think their feet are longer after pregnancy.

You could probably get any spine curvature sorted by a physio or osteopath?

oh its good to know that I could maybe have it corrected and turn back into the 5ft giant I once was

Why you slabbering about tall women for?

I lost 2 inches in my first pregnancy

God I wish that’d happened to me. I’m 5’7 and personally would love to lose an inch or two

This was posted over a decade ago. I presume you’re huge so that’s why you’re offended?

I didn't shrink but my feet went up a size
