I'm 5'4" and my husband is 5'10" so we'll see. I am taller than my mom but shorter than my dad and my husband is taller than both parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-your-parents-do-you-think-your-lo-will-be-taller-than-you#post-107985 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 19:58:14 +0000 MsMini 107985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents are 5'9" and 6'1", I am 5'6" and DH is 5'11". Our nephew (whose parents are the same height as us) is 16 and already 6'6", so I think there is a decent chance our LOs will out-grow us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-your-parents-do-you-think-your-lo-will-be-taller-than-you#post-107979 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 19:45:16 +0000 ecogirl 107979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wow I don't know! My mom is 5'10" and my Dad is 6" but my husband's mother is 4'11" and her husband is 5'2"! Haha! I am 5'9" and my husband is 5'4" so I think it is anyone's guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-your-parents-do-you-think-your-lo-will-be-taller-than-you#post-107952 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 19:04:23 +0000 sslm 107952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad is 6'3", mom is 5'4", and I'm 5'11".

My mom and I are both 5'0". My dad is 5'4" and my brothers are 5'8" and 5'9". DH is only 5'7", so I'm hoping that the trend holds true for our sons, at least. I apologize in advance to any daughters I have. They're going to be pocket sized. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-your-parents-do-you-think-your-lo-will-be-taller-than-you#post-107797 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 12:34:30 +0000 regberadaisy 107797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'5" and my mom is just a tad shorter than me and my dad is a tad taller than me.<br /> My husband is 6'3" and all the men on his side are TALL.</p> <p>So I'm pretty confident LO will be taller than me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-your-parents-do-you-think-your-lo-will-be-taller-than-you#post-107655 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 08:59:03 +0000 chopsuey 107655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dad is 5'7" mom is 5 feet! (they grew up during the war and had food shortage!) </p> <p>I'm 5'6. I always thought I should be taller, but I used to starve myself when I was in elementary school around my growth spurt time. </p> <p>DH and I are POSITIVE LO will be at least 5'8. I'm guessing she'll be 5'9. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-your-parents-do-you-think-your-lo-will-be-taller-than-you#post-107591 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 07:43:07 +0000 Cchoi4 107591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'3", DH is 5'9", so hopefully LO will be at least his dad's height. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-your-parents-do-you-think-your-lo-will-be-taller-than-you#post-107588 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 07:31:32 +0000 bpcmarj 107588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad is 6'2 and Mom was 5'11 before she broke her leg at 45. I am 6' (and my sisters are 5'11), and DH is 6'1. DH's parents aren't very tall but his uncles on mom's side are. </p> <p>We, and the midwife, are assuming that we will have a very tall girl on our hands! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-your-parents-do-you-think-your-lo-will-be-taller-than-you#post-107584 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 07:22:23 +0000 MrsBrewer 107584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad is 5'9 and my mom is 5'.

My dad is probably 5"10.

DH is 6'3" (and part Japanese, so yes I agree Asians are getting taller these days!) so we are fairly certain our little girl will be a tall one. I hope she's not much taller than 6' if she ends up being taller than I am- it's too hard to find long enough clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-your-parents-do-you-think-your-lo-will-be-taller-than-you#post-107543 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 02:39:15 +0000 loveisstrange 107543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'7 and DH is 6'0.
