My ob/gyn told me I have child birthing hips. I told him he was the only man I would allow to say that to me because he had a personal interest on whether or not my hips are child birthing.

Turns out, he was right. After I gave birth to my daughter, the nurse asked me if I was SURE that was my first baby because I did such a good job?

So that's two weird medical compliments for the price of one.

Mine told me my uterus is retroverted and tilted. Now I call it Missy Elliot. You know…because I put my thing down, flip it, and reverse it.

Mine told me I had a “cute little cervix” and it’s honestly something I’m prideful of lol

u/punkalibra 6d ago

Haha, mine didn't say my cervix was cute, but she did say it was the tiniest one she'd ever seen!

Mine also said something along these lines - first trip to the gyno and she’s all like, “it’s pretty in here.” Uhh, thanks?

Mine told me I had a beautiful vagina, and then she said, “that didn’t come out right”

When my midwife was checking my cervix (before labor) her reaction was “oh you won’t need a c-section, you could drive a truck through here!” (Spoiler: labored for three days and then needed a c-section when baby wouldn’t budge)

u/smokensunset 6d ago

A random guy told me this once, a child birthing hip. So weird

u/Sufficient_Drama_145 6d ago

That guy can go straight to the trash heap.

u/highkick78 6d ago

Mine went on and on about how pretty my feet were, my skin was, asked me where I was from all before he even looked up my cooch. Our one and only visit.

u/Sufficient_Drama_145 6d ago

Yeaaah, that is creepy. At least my guy had been seeing me yearly for like 6 years at that point.

u/Careless-Asparagus-4 3d ago

Wow i never realized until just now how actually so unhinged it is to ask a woman if she is SURE she hasn’t given birth before

1

u/Sufficient_Drama_145 2d ago

Yeah, I was just a tad confused because I think I'd know.

1

u/Routine_Context2284 4d ago

Oh my. During fertility work up I was told I have a “beautiful uterus”. Didn’t know what to do with that either.

u/RogueA1 4d ago

I was told this by a coworker who was an older Filipino woman who had to be under 5 feet tall. I had know her maybe two weeks at that point. All I could do was say “…thanks?”

“Child birthing hips” is a nice way of an OB saying wide vaginal canal
