    I suspect the narrow birth canal issue is a result of evolutionary trade offs. Sure, you might be able to engineer a wider birth canal but doing so without impacting your ability to walk might be challenging.

      Have you ever seen some of those natural large hip women out there? They don’t have any trouble walking (excluding the extremely wide/obese of course).

      I’m not even talking about engineering artificial DNA, more like copy over a few genes from known reasonably healthy women that haven’t had any issues giving birth.
