A mother from Clifton has given birth to what is believed to have been the biggest baby born in Nottingham in 2021. Paisley Jade West was born on August 2 2021 at Nottingham City Hospital and weighed 13lbs 2oz.
Mother Jade Smith, 22, gave birth to her firstborn via a C-section, after she was given the opportunity to do so. When she was first told the baby might be large, Jade said she "didn't think much of it" to begin with.
Jade said: "I found out I was pregnant on December 1 2020, was told everything was going well, had a 12 week scan and I was told she was bigger in size than expected. I didn't think much of it really, but when I had another scan at 20 weeks, I was told she would weigh around 10lbs.
