World's Smallest Mum Wishes to Have Lots of Babies After Giving Birth to Third

World's smallest mother from Kentucky, USA, wishes to have lots of babies after she gave birth to her third child.

"I'll have more children," 36-year-old Stacey Herald said.

In Vitro Maturation Could Mean Difficult Births and Larger Babies
In vitro maturation (IVM) fertility treatment could mean difficult births, possibly caesarean, and larger than normal babies. Hence British researchers are urging caution.

At just 2 feet 4 inches, Stacy has been warned against getting pregnant, because a baby would grow too big and crush her lungs and heart.

Stacey has successfully proved doctors wrong three times, and now she and her husband Wil are thinking about having more children.

Stacey suffers from a rare genetic condition called Osteogenisis Imperfecta, which hinders her growth and causes underdeveloped lungs and brittle bones, reports The Telegraph.

Babies' Brains Flexible - Why?
The reason why a baby's brain is flexible and changes easily has been discovered by scientists, who say that it is because the brain still has to grow.

"We listen to doctors and respect them, but they don't always get it right, so we end up doing what we feel is best," she added.
