Nurses gasped as new mum gave birth to a 'giant' baby the size 'of a toddler'

A mum has spoken about how shocked she was by her baby's size when he was born.

Ruby Eden was told by doctors and nurses that her tot would weigh around 9lb when he was born but he ended up tipping the scales at 11lbs 13oz. The 24-year-old said she had two scans when she was 34 weeks pregnant, with a midwife remarking that he looked "slightly on the bigger side".
