A first time mother has given birth to an 11lb 6oz baby without a Caesarean section

    Joleen Adamson, 29, gave birth to Theo after more than 36 hours in labour.

He requires clothes designed for babies aged three to six-months.

During pregnancy Mrs Adamson, who is married to 42-year-old Lee, had two scans and routine checks by midwives, and no sign of Theo’s size was detected. 

Because of Theo’s size, she lost a lot of blood and needed three blood transfusions.

Mrs Adamson, who works in a fish and chip shop, said: ‘It was quite difficult and I was really struggling towards the end. 

‘I pushed for hours and he didn’t budge. At one stage I was close to passing out.

‘There were about 20 people in the room when Theo was weighed and some of them said it was the biggest baby they had seen.

‘I wasn’t told he was going to be a big baby!’

She said,‘He’s at home now and settling in very well,’ Mrs Adamson said. ‘Theo is a very contented baby.

‘Theo is my first baby. I didn’t have any food cravings while I was pregnant or eat anything unusual.

‘He loves to relax in his crib, although when he starts to feel hungry he has a good set of lungs on him to let us know.’

Both mother and baby are now doing well at their home.
