Woman gives birth to 5.6kg baby

A mother took to TikTok to reveal the size of her enormous 5.6kg baby as people joked he was "already the size of a three-year-old".

Viewers were stunned at the size of the newborn, joking that he "should already be paying taxes".

The mum was responding a question sent in by a fellow TikTok user.

@tawnee117 posed the question to her followers: “I wanna see who had the biggest baby. Whoever sees this video, tell me the weight of your biggest baby.”

Mum @erikasilenceweber took up the challenge and uploaded a response video.

She said: “So everyone keeps tagging me in this and telling me I should do this.

“At 37 weeks I went in for an ultrasound and my son was weighing in at 9lb 15oz (4.5kg) so we scheduled for a C-section.

“I ended up being put into labour the day before C-section and I still went with a C-section because the doctor highly advised that, and … I had a baby that was 12lbs 6oz (5.6kg)!”

The video has been viewed by more than six million fellow TikTok users many of whom were blown away by the size of the tot.

One said: “Bro came out with a whole credit score.”

Another said: “So you gave birth to a football player.”

While another joked: “That child came out already three years old.”
