Big Woman vs. Good Pelvis

Had a Dr's appointment this week and we either have the most modest baby of all time, or the most stubborn. He/she (this week it's a he, we're practicing the name Noah) had his legs kind of crossed indian style, but tucked under himself in a way that made it just impossible to see what we were hoping to see the most . . . so there is no drum roll followed by joyous and exciting gender announcement. We are, nonetheless, very happy and grateful that our baby is looking normal and active and healthy. He's about the size of an apple (i'm 15 weeks) and he can pee, make faces, move his jaw and all his joints, and even though his eyelids are still fused shut, he can see and will respond to light. Cool huh? But what I want to know is how do his eyelids get unfused? The Doc had to leave the office shortly after I arrived for my appt to go deliver a baby, and when she came back she was saying that it was a big baby, 4.5 kilo's. But her disclaimer was that it was ok and they didn't need to do a C-section b/c she was a big woman. So then I asked her to define what a big woman is, because women here are just scrawny, skin and bones! So tiny and petite. So there was a kind of funny pause (while she tried to avoid telling me directly that I am a big woman in her thinking) and then she just agreed with me that these women are very small. Then I asked her directly, so am I a big woman? She was uncomfortable and changed the subject by saying that she expects that I will have a good pelvis! What in the world? So congratulate me. Not only do I have a healthy baby so far, I also am expected to have a good pelvis! :)
