I know lalafell have huge heads, but it's not like we have the same size heads our entire life.The head is the single biggest and most difficult part of the baby to push out during the birthing process. This is not a trivial fact. If it's true for humans it would be especially true for Lalafell babies. Unless they birth them earlier (a dubious claim to make considering human babies are already birthed at a stage of development that is earlier than most other placental mammals) their babies are going to have heads of comparable or even larger size.
In fact, a lot of the things surrounding Lalafells are just simply biologically dubious and I really want to take the devs to task on a lot of this stuff....
At the same time, Lalafell hips are proportionately very wide, and their torsos are very long. There's plenty of room for a bigger-than-proportional uterus, and - assuming their wide hips reflect wide pelvises - them to birth children with normal sized heads.
