'When I gave birth every doctor in the room gasped at my baby's 'giant' size'

A mum has spoken about how unprepared she was for her baby's size before he was born. Doctors and midwives told Ruby Eden that her bundle of joy would be around 9lb but he came out weighing a whopping 11lbs 13oz.

The 24-year-old had two scans when she was 34 weeks pregnant and the midwife told her that he looked "slightly on the bigger side". As Ruby's daughter was around the 9lb mark when she was born the mum and her husband weren't too concerned.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, mum-of-two Ruby said: "The pregnancy was completely normal. He was estimated at a normal weight throughout the whole pregnancy. My daughter was 8lbs 13oz so we just thought he'd be roughly the same size as her, nothing to worry about."
