Patient's question:
Some say pregnancy can make you grow taller because the child's growth hormone gives it to you. Others say a natural birth can make you grow taller because it stretches the bones. Is that true? I'm pregnant and often get calf cramps at night. Is it because I'm growing taller? What should I eat more to grow faster?Doctor's answer:
Got pregnant and have been experiencing calf cramps at night, which are caused by calcium deficiency. As we know, the calcium needed for fetal bone growth is entirely sourced from the pregnant mother, so the pregnant mother must ensure an intake of approximately 1,200 to 1,500 milligrams of calcium per day. Consume more calcium-rich foods in your daily diet, such as milk, cheese, eggs, soy products, kelp, laver, shrimp skin, sesame, and vegetables. The above advice is for the question "Can you grow taller after getting pregnant?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
