Just remember that female pelvises are designed very differently to those of men, purely to enable the passage of a baby during the birth process. Our bodies are designed to give birth. The female pelvis is wider, shallower, lighter and rounder than that of a male. It is built to accommodate a growing baby and it is able to stretch during pregnancy and childbirth. Our body size or shape is not an accurate representation of the size and shape of our pelvis, or its ability to fulfil its function.
