These youthful and supposedly productive qualities are reflected in the 99-63-91 figure, which stands at 5ft 6in tall.
In reality, however, a woman’s fertility level is thought to depend on a multitude of factors, with body type playing a relatively minor role.
While obesity has been linked to miscarriages, pregnancy difficulties and infertility in women, infertility issues can affect anyone, regardless of size.
Mary’s pregnancy and birth were uneventful. There were no signs that her daughter Michelle had any problems when she was born. However, the moment she opened her eyes, doctors knew something was wrong. They didn’t figure out what it was until they read medical texts and spoke to a geneticist at a different hospital.
Michelle’s face was large and innocent. She had a beak-like nose and was balding. She was found to have Hallermann-Streiff syndrome, an inherited condition of which there are only 250 known cases worldwide.
Michelle was born at Children’s Memorial Hospital, where no one had ever seen her in person. When the doctor told us we had Hallermann-Streiff syndrome, my heart sank. “I was worried about how we would care for our son, who had a rare genetic condition that affects one in five million,” Michelle’s mother said.
Michelle has 26 of the 28 symptoms associated with the condition. Although the condition affects only one in five million people, it can lead to a variety of health problems. Michelle is only two years older than her sister, but she barely reaches her waist because of Hallermann-Streiff syndrome and dwarfism. Because of her condition, Michelle requires a lot of help, including a power wheelchair, a respirator, a hearing aid, a catheter and visual aids. Michelle and her family have also spent a lot of time in the hospital because of the condition. You could be mistaken for a kid at 25 because of her looks.
At 20, Michelle is happier than ever and as smart as a poodle. She is among the happiest twenty-somethings I have ever met.
She brightens people’s days with her happiness. She is aware of her differences, but refuses to let them define her.
Michelle is a great and distinguished young woman, despite her challenges. Among other things, she aspires to date and be like her older sister. She doesn’t mind his height because practically everyone is taller than her, but she wishes his hair was longer.
Her goal is to become a doctor too!
