what is pelvimetry? |
Pelvimetry is the art of measuring the internal structures of the pelvis. Every person has a uniquely different pelvis shape, which generally fall into one of the four classic pelvic shapes. Ones internal dimensions are not indicative of the outside shape of the pelvis. Thus, the old expression "child bearing hips" is not an accurate way of accessing if a baby can pass though a pelvis. Pelvimetry allows understanding of which shape pelvis one has, what the internal dimensions are, and how much ample space there is to birth a baby. It is with greater understanding of our own physiology that we can move through the rite of passage of birth with more confidence and less fear.
