Why pregnant women don’t topple over

I’m sorry but I am sitting here reading this story to my better half just laffing… I never really thought about it, but:
[i]With all that growing weight up front, how is it that pregnant women don?t lose their balance and topple over?[/i]

Cut to the chase in the article, it comes down to evolution and women being slightly different then men in both a hip bone and a vertebra.
[i]Scientists think they?ve found the answer: There?s are slight differences between women and men in one lower back vertebrae and a joint in the hip, which allow women to adjust their center of gravity.[/i]

Ok, the best part of this article… lol, besides the title. The following deep provoking question.
[i]But what about men with stomachs the size of babies or bigger? What keeps them from toppling over?[/i]

I’m sorry, I just thought the story was too funny(no, I am not making fun of pregnant women) to pass up.

Dan
