A mum has revealed how shocked and unprepared she was for her baby's enormous 'toddler' like size when he was born. Doctors and midwives had estimated that Ruby Eden's little one would be around 9lb but he came out weighing a staggering 11lbs 13oz.
The 24-year-old parent had two scans when she was 34 weeks pregnant and the midwife informed her that her son looked 'slightly on the bigger side' but was 'estimated at a normal weight throughout the whole pregnancy'. This did not come as a concern to Ruby and her husband as their daughter was around the 9lb mark when she was born, Wales Online reports.
However, when Teddie was born on August 1 2022, eight days after his due date, the mum said that 'every single person in the theatre gasped' when they saw how unexpectedly 'huge' he was. When the youngster was born, he was diagnosed with a condition called polyhydramnios which according to the NHS, happens when there is too much amniotic fluid around the baby during pregnancy.
