Ha!!! My grandmother has size 4 feet, was a whopping 90 pounds and only 4′ 10″, and she had 5 children vaginally, including twins. (and all the labors were an hour or less, can you imagine?!)

You’ve gotta check out Gloria Lemay’s article, “Pelvises I Have Known and Loved.” In it, she says, “One of the midwife ‘tricks’ that we were taught was to ask the mother’s shoe size.
