A mum-of-two has revealed how unprepared she was for her baby's "giant" size, as doctors estimated her newborn would weigh 9lbs – and he came out weighing a whopping 11lbs 13oz.
Ruby Eden, 24, from Warrington, took to TikTok to share a video clip of her pregnant belly when she was given the prediction, versus what her baby, whose name is Teddie, looked like after he was born. The video quickly went viral and was seen by more than 1.5 million people.
The stay-at-home mum had two last scans at 39 weeks, and the day before her baby was born at 41 weeks exactly. The midwives said that her little bundle of joy looked "slightly on the bigger side", but estimated him to be "around 9lbs". This was a similar weight to Ruby and her husband's firstborn, Delilah-Rose, who was born in November 2020, so she wasn't concerned.
