Do autopsy reports indicated if a woman gave birth during her life?

Update:

Assuming a body is in a resaonable condition, I have no doubt it can be determined if birth has been given. What I'm wondering if determing if a woman has given birth is part of a typical autopsy exam and report. Thanks.

    Well, I remember Duckie on NCIS mentioning that a woman he'd examined had recently given birth - processes and results are fairly realistic on TV these days.

    Having said that I dunno if Duckie coulda found that out if the body had given birth twenty years before.

    Try over in the health section.

    Yes. They can tell by looking at the pelvic bone.

    I think so. I think they can even tell from just bones because giving birth really messes up our hips and pelvis.

    It can, it depends on the state of decomposition.
