A mum has given birth at home during lockdown to one of Britain’s biggest babies – weighing the same as a bowling ball.Incredibly, she required no stitches following the birth and only had gas and air as pain relief.
And she now has one of the country’s biggest families – her firstborn Aria, three, weighed 10lb 8oz at birth, and her second child Amelia, three, was 9lb.Emma had Atticus in a birthing pool using hypnobirthing techniques set up at her home in Thornton-le-moore, Cheshire.She said: ‘I birthed him in a pool with the midwife arriving with only half an hour to spare.‘It just goes to show what women’s bodies are capable of and a nice reassurance for those that are predicted to have big babies.
Though impressive, Atticus doesn’t take the record for the biggest baby in the UK – that accolade belongs to, the average weight of a baby girl is 3.3kg and for boys, it is 3.4kg .There were no complications during the birth and Emma was done within two and a half hours. She said: ‘I’m really pleased that I got to give birth at home as I would have had to go alone to the hospital if not with my husband staying at home with the girls.
‘I had planned to have a home birth from the start and was concerned when NHS trusts started to close down the home birth service as I was so dead set on it.

My aunt, born in 1925, weighed 13 lbs 10 ounces apparently at birth. She was the heaviest baby in the county at the time, but not the heaviest in England! So this bubba is really not that big at all. Adorable, absolutely, but certainly not in the 'heaviest' league.
My grandson Jamie weighed in at a whopping 11lb 11ozs. It was my daughter in-laws first child. Congratulations to you💙
My friends sister in laws baby was over 12 pounds, didn’t make the papers 😂
That’s not that big my daughter was 12lb 13 1/2
Gestational diabetes?
Congratulations🥇
