‘UK’s Shortest Family’ Welcomes Second Baby With Dwarfism | BORN DIFFERENT

A MOTHER with dwarfism - and half of ‘Britain’s shortest couple’ - has given birth to her second baby. Laura and her husband, Nathan Phillips, welcomed their son, Jax, into the world on September 5 2018. The parents from Newcastle have different forms of dwarfism, Laura has Achondroplasia and stands at 4ft 1, whereas Nathan has Pseudoachondroplasia and is 3ft 11. Four years ago, Laura gave birth to their first son, Nathan Junior. Miraculously, Nathan Jr was named as a ‘double-dwarf’ as he has both of his parent’s dwarfism, which is a extremely rare. And now, Laura, 28, and Nathan, 38, have received the news that their new baby boy, Jax, was born with Achondroplasia only – following in his mother’s proud footsteps.
