A member asked:
Can pregnancy cause a woman to grow taller? can taking fertility medications for an iui cause an adult woman to increase height?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No and no: Once you have reached adult height it is not possible to grow taller; further, there si no mechanism why either pregnancy or fertility meds would do this.

No: The potential additional length anyone can expect depends on areas in the long bones (arms, legs, fingers)called growth plates. This is where growth occurs and an active open growth plate means more growth is possible. The hormones that push one to sexual maturity tell the growth plates to close. Once closed, no hormone, exercise, pregnancy or other factor can make you taller.
