One of the UK's biggest babies has been born - weighing nearly 13lbs. Mum-of-three Ruth Harvey, 36, welcomed 'chunky monkey' newborn Tabitha, on February 28. Tabitha was born two-and-a-half weeks late and weighed a whopping 12lbs 9oz when she was delivered at home.
She is already wearing baby clothes for tots aged three to six months. Ruth even went to the library to look in the Guinness Book of World Records to find out what the record was - Guy Carr who weighed 15lb 8oz at his birth in 1992, followed by George King who tipped the scales at 15lb 7oz in 2013.
Hefty tot Alpha Stone Mitchell was Britain's third largest new born when he arrived via Caesarean section on October 28, 2021 at John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford, weighing 14lbs 15oz. Ruth gave birth to Tabitha in a birthing pool at home with partner Eddie Gillan, 44, decking out the room with fairy lights - and the tot has spent just one hour in hospital since she was born,
