No, the squat thing is important! Women who sit a lot have a lot of problems that squat-intense women do not. Postnatal incontinence, for one. The pelvic floor is so, so, so important. It is not something that gets toned unless you are squatting down to the ground a lot. Giant head is one thing but lack of muscle tone is a bigger factor in stalling labor. I'd argue that giant head has been a non-issue until modern medicine came along and starting causing inductions and episiotomies for it. It's a made up problem. The head is soft and will conform to the vaginal canal. Our bodies are designed for this.
