by Mum Stunned After Giving Birth To 12lbs ʙᴀʙʏ
Big babies run in families (this is influenced by genetics), and it’s more common to have a big baby when the baby is male . As this boy. A new mum who spent more six hours in labour was surprised to find out that her newborn tipped the scales at a huge 12lbs. Clothes his mother bought for him had to be ditched because he was so big, the clothes was so small. He fited three months old baby’s clothes.
Mother Paula Brown suddenly had think about ditching baby clothes she bought for her son- because he was nearly twice the weight of a average newborn. Dad Gareth Brown, 32, said staff in Blackburn Birthing Centre told the couple it was the bigest baby they’d seen for at least five years. He became the center of the hospital at that time.
He said: “We were all making guesses at what weight the baby would come in, but nobody was expecting that. It was strange, most of the babies there were tiny and Theo was huge. that was hard for labour”
Recalling her heroic labour, mum Paula, 33, said: “It was not pleasant and it was hard work and tiring. But the end result of it all is just fantastic. We are happy when to see him”
Theo’s total weight was 12lb 41/2 oz while an average British baby just over 7lbs. Theo does not take the title of Britain’s Bigest baby delivered naturally. The bigest baby for another one.
That is thought to belong to ʙᴀʙʏ George from Gloucester born in February 2013 who weighed an impressive 15lb 7oz. But even he pales into insignificance to the world record which was achieved in January 19 1879 with the baby weighing a draw-dropping 22 lbs.
It’s hard to tell if your baby is big until they are weighed when they are born. Many women worry that they are having a big baby if they have a big bump . Equally, some women worry that their bump is too small and their baby isn’t growing well. In the same way that every woman’s body is different, every baby bump is different. The size of your pregnancy ʙᴜᴍᴘ does not necessarily mean your baby is too large or too small or that your baby is not healthy and well baby bump come in all different shapes and sizes.
