A mum has told how midwives gasped when she gave birth to a baby boy weighing nearly 12lbs who was the 'size of a toddler' with a head 'as big as a melon'.

Ruby Eden, 24, was originally told by doctors her newborn Teddie was likely to weigh 9lbs before he arrived into the world weighing a whopping 11lbs 13oz.

He then quite literally tipped the scales when nurses went to weigh him as he was too big and almost knocked them over.
