Hello! So my 13 year old daughter is turning 14 soon and I think she is experiencing late (or "delayed") puberty. She has got no pubic or underarm hair growing, no growth spurt and her menstrual cycle hasn't started. The only sign of puberty she has is her breasts are budding a little but that had started happening since a little more than half a year ago and nothing else has changed about her since then!
Since fourth grade she had ranked from the average height in the class to the second shortest in the class now (eighth grade). Nearly everyone, both girls and boys had their growth spurts except my daughter who is growing 1.5 inches a year as we measured and is currently about 4"11 and others are probably at least 5"3 in her class.
So my question is, is this normal?
