"As a first-time mother, Sara Herman thought it was only to be expected that she had an enormous bump after five months.

What she and doctors failed to realise was that the petite mother-to-be, who is only just over 5ft, was expecting a giant.


When Jack eventually arrived at 37 weeks he weighed an astonishing 14lb 8oz. "

read the article and look at the pictures

A friend of mine was about this size and she had quadruplets that weighed over 18 lbs together. She was bedridden for the last half of the pregnancy.

3. Yikes- The mother might have weighed ~100 lbs. before pregnancy

which means her baby was ~1/7 of her original weight.
My 8lb 4oz. son was ~1/17 of my 140 lbs. by contrast!

I'm glad they're both happy and healthy. That kid is friggin HUGE! I wonder how large he's going to be as an adult.
