I have size 3 feet, and small pelvic, they discovered 18 hrs after induction that I can't go for normal delivery. But I dont think it has anything to do with feet size. My friend is really tiny with small feet, she delivered normally with no defficulties at all, & her baby was big.

Well, at my first MW appt she asked the size of my feet and wrote it in my notes - there was a special box for it and everything! She said that as I have size 6 feet, that means I have a wide pelvis. I think it might be one of those things where your shoe size does relate to your pelvis size BUT as somebody else said, your baby size will also be related to your size, so if you have small feet and therefore a small pelvis, your baby will probably be on the smaller side too. Mother Nature is clever!
