Is anyone's hips noticeably larger??

Question

This is my first and I've always had narrow hips. I'm a triangle, very broad shoulders (great upper body and for swimming. :p). I looked in the mirror and felt my jaw drop. They have NEVER been this wide, even when I was overweight. I have very defined curves now. Even my husband said it with surprise. Has this happened to anyone else??

Answer

Hips? No. Thighs? Yes!

Answer

During pregnancy your body produces a hormone called relaxin. It loosens your ligaments so your hips can spread when baby is in the birth canal, and yes they most likely will stay wider after birth.

Answer

Hips spread to pass the baby!! Completely normal

Answer

Yes!!! My left hip even got stretch marks. :/ My hips were also wide to begin with so I was shocked.

Answer

I'm not sure if mine look any bigger but I've had the worst achey hips since being about 7 weeks pregnant so presuming that's them spreading!!
