5ft-tall mother who gave birth to a 14lb 8oz baby boy

As a first-time mother, Sara Herman thought it was only to be expected that she had an enormous bump after five months.

What she and doctors failed to realise was that the petite mother-to-be, who is only just over 5ft, was expecting a giant.



When Jack eventually arrived at 37 weeks he weighed an astonishing 14lb 8oz.


And now, after health problems kept him in hospital for four months, he is enjoying life at home in Manchester with 37-year-old Mrs Herman and her husband Keith.

"At five months I looked like I was going to give birth at any moment and the size of my bump meant it was difficult for me to get around," said Mrs Herman, a product sourcer.

"But because it was the first time I'd been pregnant, I just thought this was normal."

Mrs Herman became pregnant in September last year, shortly after marrying Keith, who runs a sales promotion business.
