Actually, that's more of a wives tale than actual fact. God rarely makes a baby that is too big for the mother's pelvis.
That's why petite women (with small hips) tend to have smaller babies, and bigger boned women (with larger hip bones) tend to have larger babies.
It IS true that your hips and pelvic bones may widen after pregnancy, and that may make your subsequent labors a little easier.
But women with small frames and smaller hips aren't predisposed to having difficult labors.

No. Hip size doesn't matter.
It is all about the size of your pelvis. If it's too small for a baby to fit thru, then no vaginal delivery for you.
You could be a larger person, with big hips, but your body wont be able to accommodate a baby.
