Am I a dwarf, medically?!


Question: Am I a dwarf, medically?
I'm only 4' 8"...my limbs are normal length and I'm a little short waisted. I'm narrow with a small frame. I know legally I'd be considered a dwarf, but am I one medically? And how do I let this stop bothering me to much? I've been picked on my whole life about being short.

Answers:

If you werent DIAGNOSED as a dwarf at birth , no . They can tell right AT BIRTH if you are a dwarf . They can tell by ultrasound BEFORE you are born even .

If no one told you that you are , no . Go to a doctor to put your mind at ease . And if you aren't an adult yet , you havent stopped growing.

Oh and dee , i looked at a few sites, some say 18 some say 21 . You dont know who to believe SO ,

I would ask an ACTUAL living doctor .



Depending if you're an adult or not, Dwarfism is medically possible of you are a full grown adult under the height of 4'10"

A typical defining characteristic of dwarfism is an adult height of less than 147 cm (4 ft 10 in). Since those with dwarfism have such a wide range of physical characteristics, oddities in individuals are identified by diagnosing and monitoring the underlying disorders.



just Ignore people I don't think you are if you can walk right and you don't have any medical problems the most like it you not my little girl is 5 and still uses 2t clothes she is always getting picked on so I guess people will always pick on us for been short but don't let that batter you .



you are pretty short...
but that can be a good thing!
means that you can fit into a bunch of small spaces that tall people wouldn't have a chance to fit in
and the guys will always be taller, so you won't be awkward if your taller than your guy



I'm not sure about medically but I think short is attractive. If you can just send me some photo's of those cute little hands of yours I would really appreciate that.



No...you're just small
