Lateral X-ray pelvimetry was performed on 63 women in the sitting and squatting positions on the 5th or 6th post-natal day to assess whether squatting has any effect on pelvic dimensions.

There was no statistically significant change in pelvic dimensions with squatting. Some possible explanations are discussed.
