[QUOTE="donna723, post: 515171, member: 1883"] I didn't think either that growth stopped when the periods started! If the doctors feel they should check to make sure that it wasn't caused by some abnormality, then of course they should do so. But the truth is that girls are reaching puberty years earlier now than they were just a few generations ago. It's not unusual now for ten year olds and even some nine year olds to start their periods so almost-nine isn't that far off the mark. My own daughter had her first period right after her tenth birthday and that was 25 years ago. I don't remember exactly how tall she was then but I do know that she hadn't yet reached her adult height of 5'8" at age ten so she continued to grow for several more years after that. [/QUOTE]
