Daughter Only 10 Inches Shorter Than New Mother

CINCINNATI -- A northern Kentucky woman has been declared the world's smallest mother, WLWT-TV in Cincinnati reported.

Stacey Herald's husband, Will, told the station that the Guinness Book of World Records has sent them a certificate informing the couple that Stacey is the smallest woman in the world to give birth.

Stacey is only 28 1/2 inches tall. Her youngest daughter, Makaia, was 18 inches long when she was born last winter.

Herald has osteogenesis imperfecta, a genetic disorder that causes bones to break easily. Her other daughter, Katira, 2, has the same disease, but Makaia does not.

Doctors warned Herald that pregnancy stood a good chance of killing her, but Herald said she had faith that all would be OK.

"Doctors warned Herald that pregnancy stood a good chance of killing her, but Herald said she had faith that all would be OK."

I applaud her bravery and determination to become a mother :) she didn't allow the risks to frighten her ((claps))
 
I googled Cristianne Ray of Seattle, Washington, the now former smallest mom, because I want to know how tall she is - she is 2 ft 9 inches (33 inches in all). Stacey beats her by 4 1/2 inches.
