My dad is 6'2" and my mom is 4'11". I'm 5'8", more or less in the middle of the two!
I think Charlie will definitely be taller than me! Maybe even Olive too — she seems so long to me these days!
How tall are your parents... and how do you stack up to your parent's height? Do you think your LO will be taller than you?

I'm asian, so I'm short. DH is caucasian, and he's tall... so yes, our kids will be taller than me.
My mom is 5'1 and my dad is 5'. I'm 5'2. My DH is 5'11

My mom is 5'2 and my dad is 6'. My sister got the middle ground- 5'7". And I'm 5'. My mom's parents are 4'9" and 5'4", so I guess that's where my short genes came from.
DH is 5'8", so I'm assuming our kids will be shorties too.

I'm 5'2, my mom used to say she's 5'4 but I think she was stretching the truth because she's my height. My dad is 5'8. My sister is 5'7-8. DH is 5'9 so I'm hoping our kids will st least be taller than me.

oh gosh.. my parents are so short. my mom teeters between 4'11 and 5' and my dad is 5'5 on a tall day. i'm 5'4, and my husband is 5'6, so we're bound to have little midget babies.

My dad is 6' and my mom is 5'6". I'm 5'3". My 16 year old sister towers over me at 5'9". I'm the only short person in my immediate family. My husband is 5'10". I hope our kids turn out to be tall.

My dad is 6' and my mom is 5'10"... My husband is 6'8" and I'm 5'5"... so yeah, LO will be taller than me.

My mom is 5'6" my dad is 6'5" I am just shy of 5'9" and dh is 6'1" so I believe my daughter will be just around my height perhaps.

My dad was 6'0", mum is 5'5", I am 5'9'. DH is 5'11" but his family are short. I am hoping LO takes after my side.

Dad is 6'0"+, mom is 5'0". I'm 5'5" and hubs is 6'2". I'm hoping our kids will be taller than me.

I'm 5'7 and DH is 6'0. Women in my family get taller with every generation so yeah, I think she'll be taller than me.
My grandma is 5'0, my mom is 5'4 and my dad is 5'10. DH and I both have very tall brothers in the 6'3 to 6'5 range.

Mom is only 5'5", but dad is 6'5" making my "little" sister 6' and me 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!

My mom is my size, 5'4. My dad is probably 5"10. Lo is oddly tall, coming from a family of average height.

LO is definitely going to be tall. Grandparents are 5'6", 5'8", 5'10" and 6'4". I am 5'8" and DH is 6'3".

My dad is 5'9 and my mom is 5'. I am aBout 5'2" , and my DH is 6'4" so I have a feeling that all of our kids will be taller than me!
pomegranate / 3729 posts
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.
We, and the midwife, are assuming that we will have a very tall girl on our hands!

Dad is 5'7" mom is 5 feet! (they grew up during the war and had food shortage!)
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.
DH and I are POSITIVE LO will be at least 5'8. I'm guessing she'll be 5'9.

I'm 5'5" and my mom is just a tad shorter than me and my dad is a tad taller than me.
My husband is 6'3" and all the men on his side are TALL.
So I'm pretty confident LO will be taller than me.

My family has a weird trend where all the boys are taller than their fathers but all the girls are the exact same height as their mothers--tiny. 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.

My dad is 6'3", mom is 5'4", and I'm 5'11". DH is 6'2" so we're pretty sure our children are going to be tall!

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!

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!

I hope my son grows to be taller than me. 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.
