Is it true your height growth slows down before a growth spurt?

No, growth spurt means a sudden short burst of growth, i.e. height increases significantly with growth spurt. Take care.

What is true is that when growth slows to less than 2 inches a year in teens it usually means they are near the end. There is no "pause" before the spurt.
