      Cute joke, but more likely osteoporosis, preceded by childbearing. Pregnancy hormones make tendons in general soften/stretch, in order for the pelvis to let the head through. I had C-sections, but my feet spread out and apparently the rest of my bones sagged a bit too. And now I’m getting thinner vertebrae.

        My wife lost an inch, then had to have a vertebrae fused in her neck and she got the inch back.

        Pissed off my daughter as she had just outgrown my wife, only for my wife to pass her and force her to do it again.
