Hello Dear,
long bone measuring below the 5th centile may be attributed to genetic factors, possibly inherited from both you and your husband. Following a reassessment in three weeks, if the long bone continues to grow, there is likely no cause for concern. For further detailed counseling, please don't hesitate to contact us
