How on Earth did the hospital not pick up on his size?!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I read this earlier - he looks like a tiny man! Surely there should be some indication at your last scan that your baby is double the average newborn weight!

When we told my grandmother in law that I was pg, she told us a story of a 15lb baby that was born on the same ward where she had a baby...and it had teeth!

I know - I thought things like this were restricted to grandparent generations and earlier! (Blimey - teeth too!).

It's shocking it wasn't picked up on - just so fortunate everything turned out ok for the Mum and baby!

Wow! He's heavier than my 5 month old

Terribly scary delivery though :(

If she wasn't overweight, had no history of big babies or diabetes then no real tests would've been done. I had my DD 10 years ago she was 10lb 4 and I was huge but my midwife just told me it was all water and because I was fat. This time around they're watching me very closely and I'm booked in for a scan at 38 weeks to check size. Sometimes we just have to learn from personal history.

Beautiful little big boy though!
