I'm 5'2" and my first baby was 9 pounds. We had a local obstetrician at the
time who was scheduling C-sections for women based on shoe size - small feet
equal small pelvis, according to him. Well, I have quite small feet - I wear
a size five and often buy children's shoes. My doctor sent a copy of my
chart (after I had a normal vaginal birth) to this obstetrician to show him
that his theory was wrong in at least one case!
