World’s Shortest Mom Pregnant Again
In a picture of Stacey Herald and her three-year-old, the three-year-old is almost the same height. And now the world’s shortest mom is expecting another child.
It will be her third.
I hesitated writing about this because people flock to these stories to poke fun. But I can’t help but write about it for the pure beauty of the story. She was told she could never have kids, and now she’s on pregnancy number three? That’s what they call a miracle.
Herald, who is thirty-five and married to a man of “normal” height (he’s five foot nine), is two feet four inches tall because of Osteogenesis Imperfecta. The Sun reports doctors told her a baby growing in her womb would crush her organs, making it impossible for her to carry a child. But she did anyway. And now the girls are reportedly bigger than Herald (although the Sun’s picture makes three-year-old Kateri look slightly shorter than her mom).
The family will soon add a boy to their Kentucky home.
