A YOUNG mother has revealed that she was left in total shock when she gave birth to a very large baby.
22-year-old mum-of-one Cadie Louise Edwards had her son in February 2023, and explained that he was predicted to weigh 9lb 5oz.
But Cadie was left open-mouthed when after struggling to push him out, had to have a caesarean.
Not only this, but her son was much larger than nurses predicted and in fact, weighed 10lb 12oz.
Opening up about her newborn son, Cadie took to TikTok.
In the recent clip, we saw Cadie wearing a tight black dress, as she rubbed her baby bump.
She said: “POV: Made this video expecting a 9lb 5oz baby.”
Seconds later, Cadie then shared a picture of her newborn baby and confirmed: “Ended up having a 10lb 12oz baby.”
Her video has clearly shocked many, as it has quickly amassed 92.2k views.

Social media users were left open-mouthed at the size of Cadie’s son and were eager to express this in the comments.
One person said: “Did you push them out? Because girl I feel sorry for your hooha.”
Another added: “Girl are you Okk, I gave birth to a 8.1lb and got rushed to theatre for stitches, he’s gorgeous.”
A third commented: “So thankful my daughter was 5lbs. This scares me so much! I’ve heard so many bad labour stories.”
Cadie then confirmed that her son was not birthed vaginally as a result of the size of her son.
