Sit Bone Width Question

[Veronica]

Does giving birth make you have wider sit bones?

No.

Thanks - it's something I've been curious about with so many folks lately wondering, "What saddle is right for me?" :p

The hormone Relaxin is produced in large quantities starting in the first few months of pregnancy and causes all joint ligaments to soften. The pelvic ligaments can temporarily spread a small amount with increased baby weight and pressure in late pregnancy, thus spreading the pubic bones a bit, also your foot bones can widen/flatten out during this time. All this is to allow the pubis bones to accomodate the baby's head to pass through during birth. Relaxin levels return to normal a few weeks after birth and things go back pretty much to the way they were.

Except for my shoe size. :rolleyes:

One. Full. Size. 10 to 11. I can't have more kids or I will only be able to shop in the drag queen shoe stores. Not that there's anything wrong with that, and I certainly live in the right place, but the selection is limited.

I was a 7.5 medium, now I am an 8 WIDE...friggin' duck paddles I have for feet, now. :mad:

Seriously - right? And I like some heel but no go go and no stilettos.

That would limit your options some.

Yikes. I'm a 10-1/2 Wide. I guess it's a really good thing I never had children. :eek:

I've heard of feet growing after/during pregnancy too. But mine stayed the same after two pregnancies. (good thing!)
