    They must have done a scan on her and seeing the baby being big and the woman being big surly they must have realised that it was going to be a big baby and should have offered her the chance of a cesarean rather than a natural birth.

    That's not far off how big my youngest was in December at just over a year old. :shock:

    He was 1lb 4ozs when he was born, catching up slowly but surely! :D

    Wow what a big baby and a natural birth too. :shock:

    A woman in the US has given birth to a baby weighing 14.1 pounds (6.4kg) - and he is already eating double the amount of an average-sized newborn.

    Maxxzandra Ford's son Avery is the heaviest ever baby to be born at * Joseph's Women's Hospital in Tampa, Florida.

    Avery, who was delivered in a natural birth lasting 18 hours, is one of the largest-ever born in the state.

    Ms Ford did not know she was pregnant until about 35 weeks in, according to media reports in the US.

    She told television stations WFLA and WFTS that after she rapidly gained weight last autumn, doctors confirmed she was pregnant.

    Ms Ford said she thought she was having twins at first.

    Debbie Moore, a registered nurse at the hospital, said they would "definitely not" have recommended a natural birth if they had known how much Avery weighed, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

    Avery's father, Allen Denton, told the newspaper: "I got a linebacker now instead of a fullback."

    Avery remains in neonatal intensive care after his 29 January birth, but he is expected to go home soon.

    Ms Ford, who already has a one-year-old son and a five-year-old daughter, said she "just melted" when she finally held Avery.

    Ouch!

    Lol @ the having twins part. :lol:

    But dang! :shock:

    He was born at 33 weeks, but I was in hospital from 27 weeks onwards when I was 4cm dialated. He decided to come the night before I was scheduled to go home. Anxious times and was not allowed to get up.

    He turned 1 last december and doing great. Yours is almost the same age? Glad to hear he's catching up. Must have been a hard time for you all when he was born.

    My Dad was over 14 lbs at birth, and so were his 3 siblings. All natural births. I just considered myself lucky that my two kids were both under 9, as these things tend to run in families.
