Here is an interesting story I found on the web!
In Kentucky, a woman who suffers from osteogenesis-imperfecta, a type of dwarfism that caused her to be a maximum height of 28 inches, had her second child. Stacey Herald was told that she would never be allowed to have children since she was too small and her internal organs would be compacted. She said that her stomach was so big that she "looked like a snail" and an "Idaho potato with arms and legs." Stacey is married to a man of normal height and their first child suffered from the same disease as Stacey. Their newborn child Mukea, is expected to be normal height.
