Made me smile WWmk2 ? did bring back a couple of cringey memories though. Episiotomy was quite usual I think in the 60s - ouch

Ah well, we are all different. Baby number one got stuck, should have had a section, but too late. Very traumatic. Affected later births and an eventually a hysterectomy.
Not engaging any more and I'm sure you will understand why.

I'm feeling sorry for the pumpkins. It's not what they expected to happen.

I’m also size 10 and narrow hips, actually that should read I was size 10, a long time ago.
Three boys, 8lbs, 7lbs 8oz and a bruiser at 10lbs, they all felt like sh***ing a watermelon. So you’re possibly right. We’ll have to wait for a size sixteen mum to say how much difference it makes.
The fourth was by caesarean, bliss at the time but worse after.

It’s shoe size Marydoll. It gives an indication of the size of your pelvis.

Great post WWmk2!

Size 10, narrow hips and tiny, I do think it counts!

GrannyGravy13 Thu 21-Oct-21 20:25:50

Oh dear ??????

PollyTickle Thu 21-Oct-21 19:41:07

Not sure dress size counts!

The 10cms brings back memories at both ends, ouch

Marydoll Thu 21-Oct-21 19:37:24

Ouch. No wonder being a size 10, giving birth to a 9lb 3oz baby was extremely painful! ?
