I would have to say before while you are growing. I never went through labor the first time and my hips did widen. You may be one of the lucky ones that this doesn't happen to, but I had to buy different jeans after I lost all my baby weight b/c I didn't like the fit around the hips anymore.
Mine got wider - I think near the end of my pregnancy b/c that is when they really started to hurt.
I lost all the weight after 2 mos, but it was another month or so before my slimmest jeans would fit b/c my hips were still wide. They did return to normal, but for many women they stay a bit wider.
I have wide hips and they are getting wider! I can tell because I don't fit in my car's driver seat the same way I used to- and I have growing pains in my pelvis.
I had wide hips to begin with and mine have gotten a little wider. I can confirm this because I took before and after measurements. lol I just hope they go back to where they were before, because I seriously don't need the help in the hip/butt dept.

I take this as a good sign!
