Is it bad for baby to be tall or have long legs?

Question

I'm 16 weeks and yesterday when I had my ultrasound she said "baby's tall" and I asked if that was bad or good and she didn't say much?
It's completely okay though right?

She also said baby was low, like that's why I had lots of back pains at times and also how they liked to be under mommys belly button.

Answer

My baby's father is super tall he's 6'2" and I'm 5'2" and my doctor told me not to be surprised if my baby was tall at birth too. The baby's dad wasn't long at birth he said he was about 19" and the summer after he turned 8 or 9 he had a major growth spur and grew 5" over the summer. I'm hoping my baby won't be as tall.

Answer

It's fine!! Our baby's legs were measuring very long around that time. They kinda leveled out. He was born at 21 inches long so he was a long baby. But he's absolutely perfect

Answer

My son was 77% in length at birth. At one year, he is28%. Everyone grows at different rates. Us techs can't give you details so don't worry.

Answer

My daughter was born at 22 inches , now at 11 weeks she's 23 and some . Which is expected her dad is tall I'm short lol .

Answer

On my 12 week scan, they said how long my daughters legs were (super super long!) and she's had no problems what so ever and she's now a happy healthy 19 month old who was walking by 10 1/2 months old. Having long legs just means there's more to kick you with! X
