The pelvis widens with puberty in females?

I just read on an article that hips widen during puberty for women. I find this odd because my hips never widened. I got wider shoulders but no hips and none of my doctors when I was growing up noticed this. I always actually notices this myself. But I didn't know that that's an abnormal trait for a female to have.

I certainly don't know if this helps answer any of your personal questions but from my research, yes, the outer pelvis bones are made of three separate bones until fusing occurs. Somewhere in the late twenties to mid thirties. Estrogen in early puberty should cause the lower bones, the ones you feel when you sit, the ischium to angle outward. This makes the pelvic outlet large enough for childbirth. Along with that the pubic bones lengthen at the pubic syphasis joint. Normally the upper crest the ilium bones also flare outward.

I had the opposite situation. As a child around 7-8th grade my pelvic crest widened.  For a while I kept hitting door frames with my pelvis when going through. My ischium bones are verticle, not as far outward as a cis woman would normally get. Same for my pubic bones. They only slightly lengthened. I'm still searching for a medical person who can answer questions for me. But most any tests would be non covered as far as insurance goes.

A lifetime of depression and repressed emotions is nothing more than existence. I for one want to live now not just exist!

My hips did not widen very much in my teens. I have given natural birth to 2 children. My hips widened during labour but went back to normal after birth.
