A newborn was so big it took two midwives to haul out the child who has since been dubbed “Baby Hippo” and “Butter Bean”.
A mum in the United States has taken to TikTok to warn parents to check their newborn’s fingers and toes after she made a “scary” discovery.
A mum has given birth to a baby boy weighing more than 6kg.
Cherral Mitchell, 31, needed two midwives to haul out big Alpha as he weighed a whopping 6.7kg — believed to be the third biggest newborn ever in the UK.
He’s since been nicknamed ‘Baby Hippo’ and ‘Butter Bean’ due to his colossal size.
And the big little one was also a surprise.
Alpha was born despite Cherral getting the contraceptive coil before he was conceived with electrical engineer husband Tyson, 35.
Cherral, who has three other kids, said: “We didn’t think he was going to be that big.”
“Everyone kept laughing when his head came out. My husband Tyson was like ‘oh my God he’s chunky’.
“There were two nurses pulling — one was trying to push him down to get him out.
“The nurses said it had to be the biggest baby and were on their phones Googling.
“He’s a bit of a pumpkin baby with it being so close to Halloween.”
Alpha, who was born at 38 weeks on October 28, is believed to be the UK’s third-biggest baby.
The current record holder is 7.25kg, born in 1992.
In second place is 6.99kg George King, who was born in Gloucester in 2013.
The average weight of a baby born in the UK is 3.39kg for boys and 3.28kg for girls.
Meanwhile, a Victorian mother gave birth to what’s believed to be the biggest baby in the Australian state of Victoria, according to Seven News.
Baby Willow weighed 6.6kg with her mother telling the publication at the time she fit into the clothes of a three-month-old.
Doctors have put Alpha’s proportions down to a sweet tooth as they believe he was snacking on Cherral’s sugary fluids while in the womb.
“They think that because I was diagnosed quite late with gestational diabetes, Alpha was in amniotic fluid that was sweeter,” Cherral said:
“So he was drinking a lot and peeing a lot and getting a high intake of sugar.”
Proud parents Cherral and Tyson Mitchell.
‘BABY HIPPO’
Alpha was estimated to be 5kg in a scan at 37 weeks but he ballooned by 1.3kg before he was born a week later through a C-section at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.
Stay-at-home mum Cherral said: “My stomach was big but not that massive so I don’t know where he was hiding.
“I keep saying I gave birth to a baby butter bean. My uncle Jason calls him a baby hippo.”
Cherral already has a son – Lyon, three – and daughters Rogue-Angel, four, and Twyla Bay, 10 months – but said that Alpha is the biggest by a long shot.
She said: “My other children were all normal.”
Alpha is currently in NICU where he’s being monitored by neonatal nurses but is “on the mend”.
