Correlation between shoe size and weight of baby?

I heard (from a midwife) that a woman%26#039;s shoe size correlates with the weight of a baby she can have with no problem (or c-section) like a size 8 shoe can have a 8, 9, maybe 10lb baby with no problem (like tearing or having to be cut) Anyone else heard this or had any experience with this?

I think that sounds silly. It%26#039;s all about how big or flexible your pelvis is. While ther might be a correlation between hip size and shoe size generally, it really has more to do with your general body type.
Reply:i can tell you right now that%26#039;s bull because when I first got pregnant I wore a size 8 , my daughter weighed 8 lbs and I had to be cut. My second daughter was born and by then I was a size 9 and she weighed almost 9 lbs and i tore wide open with her. So it%26#039;s a crock.
Reply:Never heard of this, but to put my two cents in, my feet are a size 7, and my daughter was 7 lb 13 oz and I had 2nd degree tearing. I even had tearing inside the birth canal.
Reply:I doubt it. But also, a lot of big women have big feet. Bigger women could mean a bigger baby, but not always.
Reply:I wear a size 5. I had two babies that were 8 lbs 3 oz and 8 pounds 11 oz with a slight tear on both. I wish my babies had been 5 pounds!! Okay maybe not, they seem so fragile at that size. My babies came out two weeks old!!!
Reply:Never heard that but I am (usually) a size 7 or 7 1/2 and my daughter was 7 pounds 12 ounces HOWEVER I did have to be cut significantly but I think it was only because my daughter was sunny side up.
Reply:Never heard that. My shoe size is 8 1/2 and my babies were 8 lbs 5 oz and 6lbs 10 oz. Both tore me up.
