So hips are supposed to widen with puberty?

I read in puberty you're supposed to develop hips. I never developed them. I looked at men hips without clothes their hips look the same as mine do. I have no width to them and my shoulders are 6-8" wider. I have large breasts. But no hips. I'm small everywhere so maybe that's why bigger doctors didn't notice but my shoulders are 39". My hips are 34" and I have a large rear. So why didn't they notice my hips never widened? My width of mi hips I believe is below 10". My shoulders are 17" wide at least. So yeah is it a big deal not to get wide hips? I have normal hormone levels so I was told. I never was allowed to see my results though. I also have a well developed bust which is much larger than my lower half but this is because I have higher prolactin levels. Also I had an ultrasound and the lady doing it was surprised I was so small in my pelvis region and that my uterus was smaller than average. Advice?

Your body will look like your relatives' bodies, either your mom, aunt or grandma, or maybe your cousins.

If you are worried that somehow your uterus is small in a way that would impede your fertility, talk to your ob-gyn.  
You could ask him questions not about your hips but about the size of the birth canal.

Here's a photo to show I didn't develop hips at all.
