First-time mum Jade King had a very big delivery room surprise last month when her son George arrived weighing a whopping 15lbs and 7oz! That would be somewhat astounding on its own, but add to that the fact that Jade delivered her baby boy vaginally after 16 hours of labor and George’s birth story becomes almost unbelievable. Jade and her husband Ryan King, both 21, had no clue that their son would be so big – the second biggest baby ever to be born vaginally in the UK, according to reports. “It was a massive shock for everyone – no-one had any idea he would be this big,” says mom, who was induced 15 days after her due date and labored with the aid of gas and an epidural. “During the pregnancy I was just getting bigger and bigger.” We were told everything was normal until he popped out,” adds her husband.
The delivery took a very frightening turn when the baby became stuck in the birth canal and was without oxygen for 5 minutes. Jade and Ryan say that medical staff gave him just a ten percent chance of survival. “His shoulders got stuck and that is when everything kicked off,” recalls Jade. “There were about 20 doctors in the room and that is when it got really scary.” Six weeks later, though, George, who at 2ft 2 inches long is in 6-month size sleepers, is now happy, healthy and at home with his relieved parents. “He is a little miracle – a big miracle actually!’ gushes Jade, though she admits that she’s now wary of having another baby just in case the next little one turns out to be not-so-little as well!
