PHOTOS: Mum shocks midwives as she gives birth to 14 pound baby girl
How did a baby this big come out of a woman's vagina? Wow! According to the UK Daily Mail, a pregnant
mother who thought she was expecting a small seven pound baby ended up
giving birth to a daughter who tipped the scales at huge 14 pounds.
Alisha
Hernandez of Alamosa in southern Colarado went into labor on Monday and
gave birth to Mia Yasmin Garcia by caesarean section at the San Luis
Valley Hospital. But
Miss Hernandez and midwives who helped deliver the baby were shocked
when baby Mia arrived looking a lot larger than they first thought she
would be.
And after being weighed it was revealed that the newborn tipped the scales at 13 pounds, 13 ounces and measuring 22 inches long.
Her father Francisco Garcia told 9News:
'They're all shocked that they're seeing a baby like that. Even in the
San Luis Valley, they were like whoa! They opened their eyes like
they've never seen a baby like that.
Mr Garcia
explained that all of the couple's other children were all born at
normal weights and even the combined weight of their twins at birth was
lower than Mia.
He also added that the newborn would be the couple's last child together, even though they had 'tried their best' to have a boy.
Shortly
after her birth, baby Mia was flown to a Denver-area hospital after
suffering from low glucose levels and having trouble breathing.
